Abstract

The failure of an implant that supports an implant-supported fixed partial denture (ISFPD) may result in a failure of the prosthesis. Although fabricating a new ISFPD after replacing the implant is ideal, patients may hope to reuse the existing ISFPD because of financial constraints. A technique for rescuing a 6-unit metal-ceramic ISFPD with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology is described.
