Cobalt Chromium Denture Designs In General Practice

Abstract

This is a preliminary survey on cast partial denture designs in the commercial dental laboratories. This survey was carried out for a month in three commercial dental laboratories in Klang Valley and Shah Alam which produce metal dentures in cobalt-chromium.One hundred and ten questionnaires with the designs were collected and analysed. The framework design on the cast was transferred into the design sheet section of the questionnaire.The aim was to investigate communication regarding denture design between clinicians and dental technician and the dentists' dependency on the technician. The design of cobalt-chromium partial dentures in relation to oral health was also assessed.The results indicated that 43.6% of the dentist who used the three laboratories delegated their removable partial design work to the dental technician. More than half of the dentists had some communication with the technicians, and only 18.2 % of the dentists prescribed clear instructions with details of components regarding denture design. Continuing dental education on partial denture design for both clinicians and dental technicians would be of value to provide reinforcement in the knowledge of the basic concept on denture designing. Communication and understanding between both parties would probably improve the quality of cobalt-chromium dentures constructed.

The effect of design on Removable Partial Dentures

“…On the other hand the distribution of RPD design for group (B) the dentists, the changes were very clear about 36%, the results show that the frequency of Co-Ch designs increase more than other types of designs. The present study revealed on increased in the incidence of Co-Ch design compared with the incidence of acrylic design [15] . This rise in the frequencies of Co-Ch design consistence with the tends of Co-Ch p.d is the permanent prosthesis, but acrylic p.d which is the primary p.d.…”

“…Egy 2009-ben An gli á ban, Írországban és Walesben végzett felmérés szerint 144 kérdőív feldolgozása alapján a fogorvosok 54%-a kérte meg a technikust a fogsor megtervezésére [4] és csak 6% (9 fogorvos) küldött olyan mintát a laborba, amin előzetesen paralelométerben felmérte a behelyezési irányt, kapocstartásra alkalmas alámenős felszíneket. Egy másik felmérésben 110 kérdőív válaszait elemezték [7] és hasonló helyzet mutatkozott, miszerint a fogorvosok 43,6% teljesen a labor munkájára támaszkodott a tervezésben. Azok közül, akik valamilyen utasítást küldtek a laborba, csak 18,2% adott egyértelmű, világos, pontos leírást, 31,8% adott valamilyen iránymutatást, de több részlet a fogtechnikusra volt bízva.…”
