Summary

Partial dentures play a crucial role in restoring oral function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth. Traditionally, these prostheses have been fabricated using materials such as acrylic resin or cobalt-chromium alloys. However, advancements in digital dentistry have introduced new materials and manufacturing techniques, including computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled titanium. While titanium offers advantages such as biocompatibility, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance, its impact on speech performance remains understudied.

DEVICE

Removable Partial Denture

A removable partial denture (RPD) is a dental prosthesis designed to replace one or more missing teeth in the mouth. Unlike full dentures, which are used when all teeth are missing, an RPD is specifically made for patients who still have some of their natural teeth remaining. It restores both function and aesthetics, allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile with greater confidence.
