Abstract

Converting a conventional removable partial dental prosthesis (RPDP) into an implant-assisted removable partial dental prosthesis (IARPDP) may be facilitated by using data from the intaglio surface of the RPDP for proper implant placement. This procedure can be done by connecting the data from the intaglio surface of the RPDP to the residual ridge data of the cone beam computed tomography scan with implant planning software. However, although a misplaced implant under an RPDP can cause various complications, as yet, no technique has connected the information on a patient’s existing RPDP to the implant planning software. This article presents computer-guided implant planning, using a patient’s existing RPDP.
