Abstract

During the metal finishing phase of removable partial denture construction, metal is removed from all aspects of the casting. The amount removed from areas designed to contact prepared surfaces of abutments is critical to the resulting fit of the partial. Castings were evaluated before and during finishing procedures to measure metal loss at the tooth-removable partial denture interface. Finishing and fitting techniques for controlling the loss of metal are presented.
