title: Incorporation of a cast, embossed identification plate into a partial denture framework.
abstract: This article presents a technique for the fabrication and incorporation of a stable and fireproof identification plate into a cast partial denture framework. Embossing tape is embedded in the wax pattern of the major connector. The resulting casting reproduces the embossed lettering, which is identifiable through the tissue-colored acrylic denture base resin.
