Abstract:
This article describes a technique for constructing a nickel chromium alloy lingual casting that reinforces a removable partial denture against heavy anterior occlusion. The metal can be cast into a thin secondary casting, and it is easily etched and bonded to the resin anterior teeth and associated base. This type of lingual casting has the potential to provide a simple and effective solution to the problem of repeated fracture or displacement of anterior teeth in many restorations.
