Restoration of inadequate occlusal face height by using resin bonded to etched metal removable prosthesis.

The resin bonded to etched metal casting of a removable partial denture was used anteriorly in combination with posterior acrylic resin teeth to restore patients with mandibular overclosure. The procedure is simple, esthetic, conservative, inexpensive, and not time-consuming. Patients maintained their new occlusal facial height with normal functional activity. The remaining natural teeth showed no signs of changes in 6 months in either opposing tooth structure or the periodontium.
