Partial Dentures (Cast Metal)
A removable framework that replaces several missing teeth while using remaining teeth for support or retention.

Understanding partial dentures (cast metal)
Cast-metal partial dentures can be durable and compact. Design depends on the health and position of remaining teeth, bite, visible clasps, gum support, hygiene access, and future tooth prognosis.
