Pages: 2909-2918
Abstract
Although porcelain and zirconium oxide may be utilized instead of traditional dental metals for fixed partial dental prostheses in the near future, biocompatible metals will most likely continue to be used for RPD frameworks. Commercially pure (CP) titanium offers suitable mechanical qualities, is lighter
(low density) compared to traditional dental alloys, and has excellent biocompatibility, preventing metal allergies. The laboratory conditions required for synthesizing titanium frameworks are described in this review, as well as the current status of titanium removable prosthesis.
