What Is a Removable Metal Framework Denture?

A removable metal framework denture is designed with clasps and rests that contact the occlusal surfaces of the natural teeth, combined with an alloy arch framework made from materials such as Cr-Co, Ni-Cr, or titanium. With 3D printing technology, the framework details can be fabricated to closely adapt to the anterior dental arch. This structure helps improve denture stability, increase firmness, and enhance chewing function.

A 3D-printed metal framework denture is fabricated using an additive manufacturing method, providing high precision and excellent stability. By applying Selective Laser Melting technology, metal powder is melted by a laser beam, allowing the metal particles to bond together. This process creates thin metal layers of approximately 0.03 mm, which are continuously stacked to gradually form the three-dimensional structure of the product.

Features

· The framework is made from rigid alloy materials such as Cr-Co, Ni-Cr, or titanium.
· Lightweight design, providing a comfortable wearing experience.

Advantages

· Resistant to oxidation thanks to production in a vacuum environment.
· Safe for the patient’s health.
· High precision, with each detail fabricated meticulously.
· More stable and secure, helping reduce the risk of loose or open clasps.
· High durability and good biocompatibility.

Indications

· Missing multiple teeth but the patient does not want to prepare or reduce natural teeth.
· Cases requiring a removable dental restoration.
· Alternating tooth loss or complete tooth loss on the dental arch.
