Cast Framework Partial Prostheses

Restoring aesthetics and function

Removable partial dentures (RPD) are appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth but not an entire arch. Partial dentures should restore aesthetics and function, be retentive and stable, distribute the forces of mastication and prevent tooth drift and overeruption.

Metallic frameworks are made from a selection of different alloys customised for each patient:

  • Cobalt chrome is the most popular type of material and has achieved a high level of success for RPDs.
  • Gold alloys are not widely used but provide excellent fit and flexibility.
  • Titanium RPD frameworks are light, flexible and non-allergenic. They need more bulk for strength though, and don ot polish as well as cobalt chrome.

Benefits:

  • Function, fit and comfort forpatients
  • Made of biocompatible material
  • Nickel and beryllium free.
  • Choice of cobalt chrome, gold or titanium alloy
  • Stronger and more durable than acrylic dentures.
