Introduction: When creating frameworks for partial dentures or bridge constructions, now we have a greater range of technology choices, such as formative (analog), subtractive (CAD/CAM or analog) and additive (CAD/CAM). In the era of rapid computer industry development, the field of dental prosthetics has also gained numerous technological tools for a more efficient working process. However, each of them has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Objective: Our goal is to create a bridge construction and a metal base for partial denture framework using additive technology and describe the manufacturing process. Work methods: We prepared a thesis based on professional articles and a review of previous tests conducted at the workplace. The prodict was made at Interdent d.o.o., where the described procedure could be preformed. Results: With the help of additive technology, we created a intermediate product of the bridge construction and framework for partial denture. The exact process of the introduced manufacturing process is shown, analog with the presentation of the final intermediate product. Trough the use of CAD/CAM technology, we achieved a shorter production time compared to the traditional formative method and obtained a high-quality intermediate product. Discussion and conclusion: The production of a intermediate product using additive technology has proven to be a less time.consuming and high-quality method. However, it still requires a significant amount of effort and knowledge of the machines and computers that enable this process.
