Digital innovations have transformed removable partial denture (RPD) fabrication by improving precision, consistency, and efficiency. This report describes a mandibular Kennedy Class I RPD framework fabricated by computer-aided design (CAD) and masked stereolithography (MSLA) 3D printing. The mandibular cast was scanned, and the framework was digitally designed with a defined path of insertion, blockout, relief, and clasp and connector configurations. The resin framework was printed, post-cured, invested, and cast in cobalt– chromium alloy. The definitive prosthesis showed clinically acceptable adaptation, retention, and functional stability without patient discomfort. This MSLA-based workflow reduced human error, shortened fabrication time, and reproduced anatomical details accurately. The case demonstrates the clinical feasibility and advantages of integrating CAD and 3D printing into RPD fabrication as a predictable alternative to conventional lost-wax techniques.
