[A prosthodontic method for patients with partial tooth loss using metal-ceramic dentures]

The authors suggest a method for making cermet dentures that permits improving by 25-30% the adhesion of porcelain to metal carcass. This method was employed in supplying 162 patients with prostheses. A stronger porcelain-metal compound permitted a sparing preparation of abutment teeth and porcelain coating of 20-50% of the prosthesis metal carcass without deteriorating the strength and aesthetic characteristics of the denture.
