“…2,3 In addition, titanium has excellent physical and mechanical properties, making it the most biologically compatible alloy. [4][5][6] Studies on the surface roughness of titanium castings have been done by many investigators, 5,7,8 but most were concerned with variables other than the conventional finishing and polishing techniques. The art and science of abrasive finishing and polishing are important aspects of clinically successful restorations.…”

“…The debonding of the denture base resin from the titanium framework [21][22][23] , deformation of the titanium clasp [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] , discoloration of the titanium surface 31) , severe wear of titanium teeth [32][33][34][35][36] , and much plaque accumulation [37][38][39] are some of the clinical problems frequently observed in our clinical practice, whereas catastrophic failures have never been found 6) . Some of these laboratory and clinical problems have been resolved by basic studies and the efforts of laboratory technicians so that cast titanium frameworks for RPDs could be constantly fabricated with clinical success [40][41][42][43] .…”

Titanium removable denture based on a one-metal rehabilitation concept

The use of a single metal for all restorations would be necessary because it protects against metal corrosion caused by the contact of different metals. For this "one-metal rehabilitation" concept, non-alloyed commercially pure (CP) titanium should be used for all restorations. Titanium frameworks have been cast and used for the long term without catastrophic failure, whereas they have been fabricated recently using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). However, the milling process for the frameworks of removable partial dentures (RPDs) is not easy because they have very complicated shapes and consist of many components. Currently, the fabrication of RPD frameworks has been challenged by one-process molding using repeated laser sintering and high-speed milling. Laser welding has also been used typically for repairing and rebuilding titanium frameworks. Although laboratory and clinical problems still remain, the one-metal rehabilitation concept using CP titanium as a bioinert metal can be recommended for all restorations.

“…This can meet an increasing demand for fabrication of parts and devices in medical and biomaterials fields, especially in the field of dentistry such as denture base [4]. It is known that the α+β type of titanium alloys, including Ti-6Al-7Nb, exhibit superplasticity when the alloys have a suitable ratio of α and β phases or a fine-grain structure [5].…”
