Q. hi I would just like to know about the metal chrome cobalt denture -the factors that need to be considered before the denture is prepared. thankyou

A. This seems like a question a dentist would ask.  Broadly speaking you need to assess the patients general health.  Then local factors such as bone pathology, gum health, tooth health.  Finally design needs to be considered such as path of insertion, clasping, pretreatment tooth adjustment etc
