Surveyed crown Presented By Dr. Maha Mekkawy BDS, MSc, PhD Removable prosthodontic department Pharos University Definition: Surveyed crowns are crowns that are designed specifically for use in conjunction with removable partial dentures (RPDs). They are typically used on abutment teeth to provide retention and stability for the prosthesis. 1- Part of a Removable Partial Denture (RPD): When a patient has missing teeth and needs support for RPD. 2- Patients requiring RPDs who have specific tooth contours. 3- Cases where enhanced retention and stability for the RPD are necessary. 4- Situations involving compromised tooth structure that needs reinforcement. 5- Cases requiring improved esthetics without sacrificing function 6- To reestablish a proper occlusal plane (overerupted teeth) Crown Design The Surveying Process Benefits of Surveyed Crowns Enhanced Functionality Improved Aesthetics: Durability: Customization:T Challenges and Considerations expensive multiple steps, regular follow-ups
