Background Advanced computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-
CAM) technology led to the introduction of an increasing number of machinable materials …

Clinical outcomes of dental restorations depend primarily on the choice of materials used,
and nowadays, dental CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design Computer-Aided Manufacturing) …

Purpose To compare the accuracy of fit and trueness of maxillary poly (etheretherketone)(
PEEK) removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks fabricated by direct and indirect …

Alloys of cobalt chromium have been used for decades to create frameworks for removable
partial dentures. While cobalt chromium has multiple advantages, such as strength and light …

New materials are continuously being developed and advanced for the provision of partial
dentures. However, the rate at which they are developing makes it hard for the clinician to …
