Dentists' opinions on aspects of cast titanium restorations.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this paper was to study dentists' opinions regarding aspects of the clinical use of cast titanium restorations. METHODS: Since 1988 more than 10,000 cast titanium units of crowns and fixed partial dentures have been produced by the only dental laboratory that produces cast titanium restorations in Norway. A questionnaire on the clinical behaviour of such restorations was mailed to all 72 dental practitioners who were recorded in the computer file of this laboratory. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the opinion of the 64 dental practitioners who completed the questionnaire, cast titanium is a useful supplement to conventional casting alloys, particularly because of its favourable cost. It has a satisfactory clinical behaviour, although there may be some problems related to technical and aesthetic aspects.[1]References
