A model cast denture is a removable partial denture (partial denture, partial prosthesis), the stabilizing base of which is manufactured from a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy using the one-piece casting process. In the simple case, a model cast denture (synonyms: one-piece cast denture, cast-in denture, unitor denture) is anchored to the remaining teeth by means of cast … Model Casting Prosthesis
Denture relining – called relining for short – improves the fit, support and function of an existing denture by readjusting it to changed conditions of the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting jawbone. The oral mucosa and the jawbone it covers are subjected to constant pressure by a denture. A denture must therefore distribute this … Denture Relining
