Summary
This study presents a new method for creating removable partial denture frameworks using prefabricated light-polymerizing plastic patterns, eliminating the need for refractory casts. This technique offers a faster and more cost-effective approach to fabricating dental prosthetics.
Area of Science:
- Dental Prosthetics
- Materials Science in Dentistry
Background:
- Traditional removable partial denture (RPD) framework fabrication often involves multiple steps and materials, including refractory casts.
- Minimizing laboratory time and cost in RPD construction is a significant clinical and economic goal.
