Partial dentures are an underutilized treatment in modern dentistry. This is unfortunate because many patients could benefit from them. When you factor in the potential to integrate implants, by creating an implant-assisted removable partial denture, a partial could become an ideal prosthetic option for many patients
Burbank Dental Lab has long been a leading dental lab for Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs), and this collaboration between the implant and removable prosthetic teams has enhanced their expertise even further. The integrated approach allows for a wide range of treatment options for both dentists and patients.
As part of the continuing development and innovation at Burbank Dental Lab our implant team has had ongoing collaboration between the implant and removable prosthetic work teams. Our ability to design and fabricate both implant restorations and removable prosthetics as an integrated team provide a vast collection of potential treatment options for you and your patients.

Key discussion topics
The cast Co/Cr framework is the most prevalent type of removable partial denture. It utilizes clasping systems to keep the partial denture in place within the patient’s mouth. The objective of this type of partial denture is to prioritize tooth-borne retention, thereby reducing the impact on the surrounding tissue. Additionally, a well-designed metal framework will distribute biting forces evenly throughout the entire arch, minimizing stress and trauma on the retaining teeth.
Not all Co/Cr alloys are the same. When it comes to Cobalt Chromium alloys, Vitallium 2000 Plus stands out as an excellent option. For more than four decades, Vitallium has been a trusted name in partial dentures, consistently providing an optimal combination of material properties for removable partial dentures.
