“…Aesthetics of the restoration has an important role in the psychological acceptance of the prosthesis by the patient 4,5 . The literature is abundant on the retrofitting of a crown under an existing CPD clasp assembly [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . This includes the use of technique sensitive methods like direct wax up to expensive options like CAD-CAM technology.…”

The restoration of edentulism through cast partial denture is one of the important goals of prosthodontics. The caries destruction of an abutment tooth supporting a Cast Partial Denture (CPD) is commonly associated with the loss of retention of the prosthesis, making it non-functional. Even though the literature discusses many techniques for the prosthodontic restoration of destructed abutment tooth supporting a CPD, none of them explains a simple method which incorporates the retentive features as well as aesthetics on the definitive restoration. This article discusses an innovative yet simple technique for the fabrication of a provisional crown as well as a definitive porcelain fused to metal restoration, which can maintain the aesthetics and retentive features of the abutment. This technique enables the patient to continue wearing the existing prosthesis.
