A base metal can be used as a component for Post and core, crown and bridge.

The base metal alloy often contains large percentages of nickel, cobalt, chromium or beryllium.

Studies report that about 10% of the female population and 5% of males have an allergic response to nickel, chrome and/or beryllium. These metals are often found in the composition of nonprecious (base) alloys. Besides, this type of alloy provide larger marginal gap than other type of alloy.

Nowadays, we ‘d rather use Fiber post instead of metal post and core and either precious alloy crown or

All ceramic crowns instead of base metal crown.

There is also Thermoplastic material for removable partial denture instead of vitalium metal framework partial denture.
