[QUOTE="bigj1972, post: 353393, member: 811"] I'll take a shot.... Metal is rigid, solid rest seats, it is thinner than flexible while still remaining strong. Clasps can have a springing action for grip when adjusted. And the fact that a dentist can adjust them like a wire clasp chairside with pliers. With a welder they are repairable, and additions can be made without flasking. Usually a metal frame partial can last for decades, and can be relined or rebased with new saddles and teeth. I would consider myself a flexible expert, and I still make more cast frame rpds. Metal rpds are proven in all partial denture scenarios. Flexibles however have a very limited use when they are prescribed correctly.... Which is almost never the case. Flexibles are over prescribed as the magic partial, and they shouldn't be. They are great until there is a problem, and because of poor application, there will be a problem eventually. [/QUOTE]
