A partial denture framework, also known as a denture base, forms the foundation of a partial denture and provides stability and support in the mouth. It is usually made of metal alloys such as chrome-cobalt or titanium and precisely adapted to the individual jaw shape of the patient. The framework serves as a support for the artificial teeth and the clasps that anchor the denture to the natural teeth.

Partial denture frameworks offer numerous advantages: They distribute the chewing forces evenly over the remaining teeth and gums, prevent the denture from sinking in, and ensure a secure fit. Through the use of biocompatible materials, they are well tolerated and generally do not cause allergies. Modern manufacturing techniques such as CAD/CAM enable precise fabrication of the framework, ensuring a high level of wearing comfort and an optimal fit.
