Bio Copy still amazes

This patient has secondary decay under a pfm that is critical to the stability of his partial. Both the crown and partial were done just after the Korean War. He loves his partial. These cases are always my favorite. Think back to how we used to handle this workflow in the analog world. Pick up impression and take the patient's partial away from them for a week. They would then hibernate until we gave it back. The lab crown would never fit to the partial so we become human milling machines and try to adjust to fit. Bend the clasps. Break the clasps. In the end we end up with a barely acceptable outcome and offer to make a new partial.
