Strength, oral cleanliness
Low cost
Potential future relining as
close as possible
B. FUNCTION
The masticatory function by
supportingthe artificial teeth
and effecting the transferof
occlusal forces.
Biocompatibility ~
6. Based on the indicated case, denture base
selection will vary greatly depending on the
advantages and the disadvantages of each material.

maxillary spaces
where a thick base
cannot be used.
4. Acrylic allergy
1. Good biocompatibility,
2. Good mechanical
properties.
3. Proper transmission of
sense of taste and heat,
providing a natural feel
for the patients.
1. Patients allergic to
metal <rare>
2. Lack of proper
extension in buccal
shelf area.
3. AESTHETICS
9. Distal extension cases where relining
is required frequently
Patients allergic to metal.
Inadequate mechanical properties
Poor thermal conductivity
Low impact strength
Can only be used as temporary
Replacement in most cases.
Irritant
