DEVICE: Denture, restoration (06972677873123)

A material composed primarily of noble metals [e.g., gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), or silver (Ag)] intended for use in the fabrication of a dental cast [i.e., a positive copy of a part of the oral anatomy made in an impression (mould), such as a dental crown] or dental restorations and appliances (e.g., porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and bridge restorations). It is typically available in the form of small ingots or bars that are melted and poured into an impression. After application, this device cannot be reused.

A device made totally of metal alloy material, and created for a specific post-pubescent/adult patient (custom-made), that functions as an artificial covering to replace the major part, or the whole part, of the clinical crown of a tooth.

A custom-made dental restoration made of gold-based alloy that is bonded within the center of a tooth (intracoronal) typically to serve as a well-fitting, long-lasting alternative to dental fillings for tooth decay or similar damage. It is fabricated indirectly in a dental lab, sometimes by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques, before being fitted and bonded to the damaged tooth. This is a single-use device.

A custom-made, removeable, artificial replacement for one or more, but not all, teeth in the lower or upper jaw (mandible or maxilla) in a partially edentulous patient. It typically includes clasps of metal or plastic that clip onto remaining teeth for retention and stabilization. It can be made of a variety of materials including polymers [polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC)], acrylic, ceramics, and/or metals [e.g., base metal alloys or titanium (Ti)]. Also known as a removable partial denture (RPD).

A custom-made artificial replacement for all teeth in the upper jaw (maxilla) carried on a removable plate or frame which is supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. It can be made of a variety of materials including polymers [polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC)], acrylic, ceramics, and/or metals [e.g., base metal alloys or titanium (Ti)].
