Abstract

More often than not, partial veneer crowns have been the most underrated retainers in Fixed Prosthodontics. While the problem of casting shrinkage with base metal alloys is justified, it is also true that the advent of resin cement has broadened the scope of such retainers. Meanwhile, patients who practice good oral hygiene measures and have a low caries index seem unquestionable choice for such retainers. This article presents a case report of a male patient who was successfully rehabilitated with a fixed partial denture in which both retainers were partial veneers.
