Popis: Ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/A) exhibits an elasticity equivalent to that of cobalt–chromium alloy and a flexural property that is superior to that of yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal. Therefore, the use of Ce-TZP/A for the fabrication of removable dental prosthesis frameworks is being studied. However, the current English literature does not include any clinical report on the use of Ce-TZP/A for the fabrication of the entire framework. This clinical report describes the process and outcomes of fabricating a mandibular implant-supported overdenture and a maxillary complete denture with Ce-TZP/A as the framework material.
