IdentAlloy program expands to offer certificates for removable partial dentures
The IdentAlloy Council announces the introduction of a new IdentAlloy certificate specifically designed to identify and provide content information for cobalt-based alloys used in removable partial denture frameworks. This new certificate is in addition to the current certificates for high noble, noble, and predominantly base alloys available for fixed restorations.
These convenient, easy-to-use, two-part certificates are provided by alloy manufacturers who are licensees of the IdentAlloy Council to their laboratory clients free of charge. One part of the certificate is kept with the laboratory records. The second part travels with the case to the doctor's office for inclusion with the patient records, making information on the alloy used to fabricate the case and its contents always available. In today's world of insurance claims and patient allergies, dentists and patients alike can gain greater peace-of-mind with this documentation on file.
Charles Yenkner, the IdentAlloy Council's Executive Director, said: "The IdentAlloy Council pioneered the documentation of alloys for fixed restorations 18 years ago. It's logical to make the same information available for removable partial denture cases."
