“…The use of titanium and its alloys for cast restorations and partial denture frameworks has increased substantially over the last years, because of their excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and low cost (1,2). Also, this trend can be mainly attributed to the development of casting technology for titanium alloys, such as new casting machines, investment materials and the extensively reported advantages of titanium over other base metal alloys (1,2).…”
