Dental Framework Design in the UK
ABOUT
CoCr Denture Bases
When deciding on what type of prosthesis you should consider some of the following factors:
Strength needed
Patient has frequent fractures to their existing acrylic denture - CoCr has great strength.
Type of Bite
Patient has a very tight bite, wih little clearance in key tissue areas, when in occlusion - CoCr can be made in very thin section.
Weight Tolerance
Patient can't tolerate the bulk and/or weight of a traditional acrylic denture - CoCr frameworks are exceptionally light.
Cost
CoCr frameworks fall in between acrylic and Valplast in price and cost considerably less than fixed restorations such as bridges and implants. CoCr frameworks can be used in conjunction with implants and attachments to form a stable denture base.
Retention Level
Patients who have retention problems with their existing dentures could benefit from extra retention gained from a CoCr framework without the use of sticky fixatives.

Types of Chrome Dentures
CoCr has been used as a denture base since 1929 due to lower cost and lower density compared with gold alloys. CoCr exhibits a higher modulus of elasticity and cyclic fatigue resistance which are significant factors in dental prosthesis. Check out our FAQ's to find out more.

Benefits of Cobalt Chrome Dentures
Cobalt chrome (CoCr) alloys have a high wear-resistance and biocompatibility, they also tend to be corrosion resistant and can therefore be used for surgical implants as well as removable partial dentures. Chemically inert they minimize the possibility of irritation, allergic reaction and immune response.
