Abstract

Adoption of CAD/CAM milling in dentistry has allowed production of more analytic and precise prosthesis. Such precision enables definite path of insertion and undercut to be provided in removable partial denture especially when designing a surveyed crown on an abutment tooth. This case is about the production of surveyed crown with proper path of insertion utilizing CAD/CAM electronic surveying method on a patient with edentulous maxilla. Resulting removable partial denture fit well and showed acceptable stability and retention with no clinical problem.
