N2 - Fracture or carious lesions in an abutment tooth may require the fabrication of a crown under an existing removable partial denture. Typically, once the crown has been fabricated, the prosthesis will need to be modified or refabricated. However, if the partial denture is in good clinical condition, special techniques may be applied to make the new crown fit the existing prosthesis. This article describes a straightforward indirect-direct technique for fabricating a cast metal crown under an existing removable partial denture with hot water. The technique does not require expertise or any special device and can be performed chairside by general dentists.
