METHOD TO PREPARE COMPLETE PARTIAL DENTURE BY GALVANOPLASTICS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, prosthesis. SUBSTANCE: method deals with preparation of conducting matrix for complete partial denture, its covering with strong and chemically resistant metal in human mouth cavity by electrolysis followed by removal of matrix material. Titanium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum or tungsten are used as metal covering. Covering thickness is 30-1000 mcm. If facing layer is applied for its better fixation with denture surface without additional procedures and manipulations during electrolysis covering roughness of 1.0-6.0 mcm should be designed. EFFECT: improved strength characteristics, exclusion of galvanosis, lower soft tissue traumaticity. 2 cl
