Base Metal Denture Bases - Clinical indications

Prosthodontic Management With a Metal Denture Engraved With Laser QR Code

“…A heat-cured denture base seems to be better than metal denture bases but has the disadvantage of lack of strength and heat conductivity compared to the metal denture base. Hence, in such cases, especially single denture prostheses, metal usage is recommended [9,10].…”

“…This not only increased the strength of the denture but also provided warmness to the palatal region while eating or drinking giving a natural sensation to the patient. A review of the literature suggests that metal denture bases are better than acrylic denture bases in terms of thermal conductivity [9,10].…”

“…Metal dentures are manufactured with a medical-grade metal alloy to ensure that denture wearers do not suffer from irritation or allergies. They are not only stronger compared to acrylic dentures but also conduct heat through the denture to underlying tissue, giving a feeling of naturalness while drinking and eating [9,10]. This case report describes a method for marking metal dentures with unique QR codes for a patient with Alzheimer's disease.…”
