Metal Denture

Metal denture is a type of denture with a base plate or framework made from metal, often cobalt-chromium alloy or other similar materials and provides a foundation for attaching denture teeth using acrylic. This design imparts increased strength, reducing the likelihood of breakage, and offers a lighter, less bulky feel within the mouth. Clasps or Clips on partial dentures effectively secure them in place.

The meticulous planning and preparation of teeth play a crucial role in optimizing denture grip and resistance to chewing forces. This careful approach ensures the denture is tailored for maximum stability. Additionally, the compact size and snug fit of metal dentures make them particularly suitable for patients with a gag reflex, addressing concerns related to their dimensions and close adaptation.
