Adaptation of cobalt chromium frameworks fabricated by conventional versus selective laser melting techniques: An in vitro and clinical assessment

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) removable partial dentures (RPDs)by selective laser melting (SLM) has been claimed to be less challenging than by conventional casting and provides significant improvements. However, the adaptation and fit of the SLM framework and the optimum build orientation are still unclear.
