[Application of superplastic titanium alloy for denture base--Part 1. Adaptability of the titanium alloy denture base].
The adaptability of the upper complete denture base made from superplastic alloy 90Ti-6A1-4V was investigated by measuring the space between the master model and the denture base. The denture bases showed a high adaptability with the space less than 0.1 mm, whereas after curing resin for denture, it became worse especially with the heat-curing resin. In addition, the thinnest area of the denture base was observed at the middle of the plate with 38% reduction in thickness, and distortion of the base plate of 0.55mm thickness by curing resin was found to be nearly the same as that of type 304 stainless steel plate of 0.50 mm thickness.
