چکیده

Additive manufacturing (AM) often referred to as 3D printing (3DP) has shown promise of being significantly viable in the construction of cobalt-chromium removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks. The current paper seeks to discuss AM technologies (photopolymerization processes and selective laser melting) and review their scope. The review also discusses the clinical relevance of cobalt-chromium RPD frameworks. All relevant publications in English over the last 10 years, when the first 3D-printed RPD framework was reported, are examined. The review notes that AM offers significant benefits in terms of speed of the manufacturing processes however cost and other aspects of current technologies remain a hindrance.

Comparison between Acetal Resin and Cobalt-chromium Removable Partial Denture Clasps: Effect on Abutment Teeth

Fabricating an esthetically pleasing removable partial denture while avoiding the unsightly display associated with conventional clasp assemblies presented a challenge to dentists. Among other techniques, this could be done using acetal resin clasps as simple and effective means of improving removable partial denture esthetics.1 Patients often cite lack of retention and poor esthetics as reason...

The computer-aided design and rapid prototyping fabrication of removable partial denture frameworks

This study explores the application of computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/ CAM) to the process of electronically surveying a scanned dental cast as a prior stage to producing a sacrificial pattern for a removable partial denture (RPD) metal alloy framework. These are designed to retain artificial replacement teeth in the oral cavity. A cast produced from an impression of a patient’s mou...

Characterization of alloys produced with new system for processing dental prosthesis

Removable partial dentures (RPD) are traditionally made of casted alloys using the lostwax technique. Laser-sintering is a new additive manufacturing technique for processing RPD metal frameworks that can produce RPDs frameworks quickly with high precision and at low cost. The objective of this study was to characterize the mechanical, crystallographic, and biocompatibility properties of RPD Co...
