Background:

Traditional acrylic resin dentures are widely used.
Aluminum has been explored as an alternative denture base material due to its properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the literature on aluminum as a denture base material.
To discuss the rationale for using aluminum in dentures.
To present a casting technique for aluminum denture bases.

Main Methods:

Literature review on aluminum denture bases.
Discussion of the rationale for aluminum use.
Description of a casting technique (to be detailed in Part II).

Main Results:

Patient subjective clinical responses with aluminum dentures were similar to those with acrylic resin dentures.
