CoCr Metallic Frame

Metallic skeletal denture gives the more precise fit and durability than the acrylic denture. Patient feels more comfortable with metallic denture because of its less bulky structure. In our lab two types of metallic skeletal dentures are available, titanium and cobalt chromium dentures.

Cobalt-Chrome
Property Cobalt-Chrome
Advantages
  1. Better biocompatibility, higher resistance to corrosion and tarnish
  2. High specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio)
  3. Low thermal conductivity
Preferred Cases
  1. Patients with natural teeth with good prognosis
  2. Patients with compromised muscle control
  3. Patients with gag reflex (due to size and close fit)
