Partial Denture and Cast Partial Denture in Ahmedabad

A Denture is defined as a removable plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth, which is used to replace missing teeth in the mouth. A Cast Partial Denture (CPD) is defined as a removable partial denture consisting of a cast metal framework that contains artificial teeth set in an acrylic resin.

As compared to the conventional acrylic denture, Cast Partial Denture is stronger, more durable, and retentive. However, the fabrication of cast partial dentures is more costly, time-consuming, and complex as compared to conventional acrylic dentures. Each denture is specifically designed and fabricated for the individual patient.
