Fabrication of fixed partial dentures using functionally generated path technique and double casting.

Harmonious occlusion is a critical requirement for successful oral rehabilitation. Conventional techniques of construction have been unsuccessful in producing a prosthesis that can be inserted without intraoral occlusal adjustment. This article discusses the use of functionally generated path technique with double casting to fabricate fixed partial dentures. The merits of this approach and the technique involved are discussed in detail.
