Metals used to fabricate removable partial denture frameworks.
This article will help the dental technician choose from among the many alloys available for fabricating dental prostheses. It will explain terminology and compare and explain inherent properties and characteristics of alloys. Although all of the materials discussed produce a clinically acceptable removable partial denture framework, the predominantly base alloys dominate the market because of the low cost of the metal, case of casting, high yield strength and modulus of elasticity.
