The CAD/CAM technology associated with rapid prototyping (RP) is already widely used in the fabrication of all‐ceramic fixed prostheses and in the biomedical area; however, the use of this technology for the manufacture of metal frames for removable dentures is new. This work reports the results of a literature review conducted on the use of CAD/CAM and RP in the manufacture of removable partial dentures.
