Popis: A clinical and laboratory workflow for fabricating and retrofitting a monolithic ceramic crown to an existing removable partial denture (RPD) is described. A conventional polyvinyl siloxane impression was made of the prepared tooth with the RPD in place. A stone cast was poured and, after die sectioning, scanned with a tabletop scanner. The ceramic crown was designed and fabricated by using a digital workflow to fit the RPD clasp assembly, providing an adequate undercut for the clasp. The crown was then delivered and the RPD evaluated for adequate fit.
