some extensions to copper and other types of alloys. Alloys were utilized
with porcelain and/or polymers such as acrylic and BisGMA composites for
occlusal surfaces. Several issues evolved about biodegradation phenomena,
especially when some base-metal alloys were combined with biomaterial-
grade alloys and similar material abutments and bars.
During this period, the designs were as varied as the bio- and dental mate-
rials themselves, which in broad categories included subperiosteal, transos-
teal, endosteal (plate and root-form) and ramus frames [21, 22]. Each design
utilized a different combination of dental materials and intraoral prosthesis
constructions that were supported by clinical and company advocates. This
multiplicity of applications, when considering DRA, provided opportunities
