Abstract

We introduce a new digital workflow to fabricate a fixed partial denture (FPD) utilizing the three-dimensional surface morphology of provisional restoration (PR) and abutment teeth. Scanned images of the full maxilla with abutment teeth, full maxilla with PR, and PR alone were superimposed. The surfaces of the final FPD were designed based on the entire morphology of the PR and abutment teeth surfaces. The inner and outer surfaces converged at the margin lines of the abutment teeth. Fine modifications to the final FPD design were performed manually, and the final FPD was fabricated and successfully installed in the patient
