      Abstract

      Guiding planes are essential to the success of removable partial dentures (RPDs). With computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), this report presents a novel method of designing and fabricating preparation templates to precisely prepare guiding planes for RPD abutments.
