Cited in Scopus: 0The periodontal prosthesis is a successful retrievable fixed restoration provided for patients with a periodontally involved dentition who lack alternative fixed options. However, its popularity has declined due to the introduction of dental implants, as well as the cost and complexity of fabrication. Nonetheless, this remains a viable option for patients who cannot undergo implant surgery. This clinical report describes the use of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology to streamline the fabrication of a periodontal prosthesis.
