  • Title: Design and fabrication technique for metal palates in maxillary complete dentures.
    Author: Schneider RL, Stokes JL, LaDuke D.
    Journal: J Dent Technol; 2000; 17(7):8-11. PubMed ID: 11324013.
    Abstract:
    Polymethyl methacrylate exhibits excellent physical properties. Unfortunately, complete dentures fabricated from this material may still fracture. Maxillary complete dentures opposing natural dentition may have a tendency to develop recurrent midline fractures due to multiple reasons. A potential method of preventing this fracture is metal reinforcement of the palatal portion of the prosthesis. A technique will be presented describing a sequence that incorporates predictable design, fabrication and finishing of a metal palate for a maxillary complete denture.
