| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Background: Many clinical cases present with bilateral edentulous area and in a majority of those cases implant restoration may not be feasible. Consequently, the use of a conventional metallic partial denture is still in demand. With the rise of attention to physical appearance in our daily life, esthetics became an integral part of dental practice. Therefore, patients request esthetic restorations anteriorly conditioned with not compromising on function. Amongst the most popular esthetic and functional restorations is zirconia. Zirconia has proven to be able to withstand functional and occlusal stresses without compromising the cosmetic effect required from a tooth-colored restoration. Which is what makes it ideal for use as surveyed crowns to support partial dentures. Objectives: This case report aimed at highlighting a technique to restore a partially edentulous patient using a metallic partial denture supported by CAD-CAM surveyed zirconia crowns. Keywords: Surveyed crowns, zirconia, partial denture, digital smile design. Running title: Using zirconia surveyed crowns to support a removable partial denture. | ||
