+What metals are used in cast partial denture fabrication?

The cast metal partial frames used in dentures are made of 65% cobalt and 30% chromium. There is also 5% molybdemum and other substances.

These materials are used because of their high resistance to corrosion, a useful and necessary trait for an appliance that is always in contact with saliva. These materials are also highly thermal resistant, meaning that they don’t conduct heat or cold well, another useful trait when eating hot or cold food and drink.

+Why do some people have porcelain denture teeth?

Porcelain denture teeth were very popular 20+ years ago when acrylic materials didn’t have the same aesthetic qualities that they have today.

Through the years, as technological advances helped develop acrylic teeth that appeared more life-like, porcelain teeth became less frequently used, to the point that they’re now hardly used at all. Porcelain teeth also made a clicking sound when they came in contact with one another while chewing, so the less noisy sounds of acrylic teeth helped seal the fate of porcelain as an older, outdated material for denture construction.
