Quality of materials supplied to dental laboratories for the fabrication of cobalt chromium removable partial dentures in Ireland.

The adequacy of prescription for fabrication of cobalt chromium removable partial dentures is often regarded as being less than ideal. This study examines the nature and quality of written instructions and master impression sent to dental laboratories in Ireland for fabrication of cobalt chromium removable partial denture frameworks. Questionnaires were issued to dental laboratories seeking specific information relating to the materials (impression materials and trays) and written instructions supplied, as well as the technicians' opinion regarding the suitability of these materials. One hundred completed questionnaires were returned. One-third of master impressions were made using a plastic stock tray and alginate; technicians felt that one-fifth of master impressions were unsuitable; almost three-fifths of written instructions were inadequate. The quality of clinical information examined was found to be less than adequate.
