Abstract

Titanium is an ideal material for use in Prosthodontics mainly due to improvement of techniques for casting titanium and its alloys. To expand the applications of Titanium alloys as dental prosthodontic materials, TiZr Alloy and TAMZ alloy are developed and to improve the physical and mechanical properties of removable partial denture castings. The purpose of this review is to prove that Titanium can be used for casting RPD frameworks because of its excellent mechanical, physical and chemical properties.
