Abstract

To ensure stability and prevent harmful forces, proximal guide planes and those for reciprocation arms should be accurately prepared during mouth preparation for removable partial dentures. A device to guide accurate proximal and reciprocal guide planes was designed and fabricated by using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM).
