title: Titanium alloy removable partial denture framework in a patient with a metal allergy: a case study.
abstract: This article describes a mandibular bilateral free-end saddle case in a 63-year-old female with a metal allergy. Conventional denture alloys are contraindicated and acrylic mucosa-borne dentures were not tolerated. The use of a titanium alloy framework is shown to be a successful alternative in this case.
