Abstract

Fixed dental prostheses are the standard treatment option for replacing missing teeth when adjacent teeth require crowns or are already restored with crowns. Divergent abutment teeth axes may require invasive teeth preparation to achieve a common path of insertion, which substantially weakens residual tooth structure and increases the risk of pulpal problems. In selected cases with divergent abutment teeth in the buccal-lingual direction, the use of a rotational path of insertion might overcome these problems. This concept is presented via a clinical case history report.
