Clinical and radiographic examination confirmedlabial version of the maxillary incisors with periodontalinvolvement of the teeth. The patient was partially eden-tulous, and the following teeth were absent in the max-illa: right and left lateral incisors, right second premolar,left canine, first premolar, and first molar. The mandib-ular left first premolar, first and secondmolars, right sec-ond premolar, and first molar were also missing.Numerous existing fixed prostheses were also noted:

Irrespective of many encouraging reported advancesin the field of materials science using all-ceramic systemssince the early 1980s,1 alloys are still used extensively forinfrastructures of ceramic restorations, especially in fixedprosthodontics.2 Historically, precious alloys have beenused most frequently, but the popularity of base metalalloys has increased since the 1970s.3 Base metal alloyshave demonstrated good clinical performance and re-sistance to permanent intraoral deformation in mostclinical situations.4 The high elastic modulus and hard-ness of base metal alloys are adequate for long-spanmetal-ceramic restorations or removable partial den-tures (RPDs). The mechanical properties of base metalalloys and low cost make them attractive. Potential bio-logical hazards and difficult handling characteristics re-main their primary disadvantages.5,6
Clinicians have promoted the use of NiCrMo,CoCrMo, or CoCrW nonprecious base metal alloys.Apart from economic reasons, they have become in-creasingly used, predominately in removable prostho-dontics and, to a lesser degree, in fixed prosthodontics.Frameworks can be made thinner, are 40% to 50%more rigid than precious alloys, and are significantlylighter than precious alloys (nearly 8 g/cm3 comparedto 15 g/cm3 for precious alloys).5 The presence of chro-mium (nearly 20%), tungsten (nearly 5%), and molyb-denum ensures biocompatibility and high resistance tocorrosion.400 THE JOURNAL OF PROSTHETIC DENTISTRYstheses using a CoCr alloy:

and hardness.8 Electrochemical studies show that CoCralloys are more resistant to corrosion than NiCr al-loys.9-11 Nickel-based alloys also have a greater sensiti-zation potential than cobalt chromium alloys, whereasCoCr alloy allergies are rare.12,13 Furthermore, thecasting of CoCr alloys has become a routine proce-dure in dental laboratories.14
Biocompatibility and mechanical properties for an al-loy used for a dental prosthesis depend both on the ma-terial and correct processing during fabrication. Giventhe desire to eliminate and/or minimize possible gal-vanic corrosion that may occur with the use of multiplealloys in restorations for a patient, the use of a singleCoCr alloy for components of a complex reconstructionmay be advantageous. Disadvantages of such a choiceare complex laboratory procedures, such as additionalcasting and good metallurgical knowledge regardingthe various uses of a single alloy. This clinical report illus-trates the use of CoCr alloy for both fixed and removableprostheses for a patient.
CLINICAL REPORT
A 40-year-old woman was referred by her dentistto the Department of Prosthodontics, Dental Clinic,Hospices Civils of Lyon, France, for prosthodontic con-sultation and to address the esthetic concerns of the pa-tient. These included maxillary lateral incisors that wereVOLUME 96 NUMBER 2

The intercuspal position was deter-mined to be unstable given the excessive vertical andhorizontal overlap of incisors and canines (Fig. 4).
Onlyonemaxillary treatmentoptionwas offered to thepatient to satisfy her functional and esthetic needs. Thepatient expressed a desire to retain as many of her maxil-lary incisors and canines for as long as possible. Therefore,the patient agreed to a periodontal and orthodontic treat-ment, and expressed a desire to retain the remaining teethand restore with amaxillary singlemetal-ceramic FPD ex-tending from the right second molar to left first molar(Fig. 5). Two mandibular treatment options were dis-cussed: a bilateral mandibular implant-supported fixedprostheses after extraction of the mandibular left secondpremolar, or a single metal-ceramic crown (mandibularright second molar) and a mandibular RPD retainedby an 8-unit mandibular metal-ceramic FPD from the

The patient rejected the placement of implantsbecause of the need for additional surgery and theunacceptable duration of the treatment phase. Thetreatment plan selected included periodontal surgerywith open flap debridement to treat periodontal bonydefects, and orthodontic treatment to align teeth andimprove the sagittal and vertical dental relationshipsand facial esthetics to create a more favorable startingpoint for the prosthodontic phase. The orthodontictreatment was provided using a standard straight-wireappliance,15 including vestibular multiwired braces(Dentaurum, Ispringen, Germany). Abutments for themetal-ceramic crowns were prepared supragingivallydue to the thin marginal tissues following periodontalsurgery. Pulp vitality was maintained for all the teethwith an emphasis on conservative tooth preparations.A single nonprecious CoCr alloy (Remanium 2000;Dentaurum) was selected as the metal for all the metal-ceramic restorations and for the mandibular RPD

VIENNOT ET ALframework. This alloy was chosen because of its low co-efficient of thermal expansion and low hardness.16 Themandibular FPD included semiprecision attachments(CPA semi-precision attachments; Servo-Dental, Ha-gen, Germany). The mandibular RPD design included1 retentive clasp on the right second molar and 2attachments without clasps on the left second premolarand the right first premolar (Fig. 6). All abutmentswere designed with occlusal rests and guiding planes toincrease retention and provide stabilization. The maxil-lary and mandibular FPD frameworks were cast in a sin-gle piece and verified for fit. Then, the ceramic material(IPS; Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) was ap-plied to the frameworks, the restorations were onceagain verified for fit, and equilibrated occlusally. Next,the mandibular RPD framework was cast and verifiedfor fit (the matrix portions of the attachments were in-corporated into the framework). Then, artificial teeth(SR Postaris; Ivoclar Vivadent) were arranged and es-thetics,maxillomandibular relations, stability, andocclu-sion were verified intraorally (Fig. 7). The mandibular

The patient was monitored at 5-month intervals for2 years, and once each year thereafter. Eight years afterplacement, the patient acknowledged a general feelingof comfort and showed no biological incompatibility(no allergy, gingival discoloration, burning feelings, ortingling) or corrosion of the prostheses. This treatmentmaintained pulp vitality, restored function, and wasesthetically satisfactory (Fig. 8).
SUMMARY
The dental profession has used gold-based alloys suc-cessfully for many years. However, because of cost, theuse of nonprecious alloys has increased. Questions re-main about the biological compatibility and corrosionsusceptibility, particularly regarding NiCr alloys. TheCoCr nonprecious alloy described in this clinical report
