Chromium Cobalt: Chromium cobalt is a common metal used in the fabrication of removable partial dentures and reinforcement of full dentures. I have seen dentures that have used gold, but due to the expense of the materials, it is not that common any more.

Dentures: Full dentures usually do not contain metal. A partial denture is usually made using a chromium cobalt type metal. Gold has been used in the past but due to the expense and soft nature of gold it is rarely seen today.

No metal : No metals on acrylic dentures . They can be metal reinforced with metal in the palatial area for strength on bruxer patients they have the tendency to break it in half.

none usually: Full dentures are made of acrylic while partial dentures are made of chrome-cobalt metal and acrylic. Rarely, metal bases with acrylic over the metal are used for full dentures.

Depends: Long ago type 4 gold was used. Then chrome,cobalt,beryllium was used. No longer use the beryllium. Most now are a chrome/cobalt metal. Some of the wires are platinum/gold/palladium. Some trade names are Vitallium and Rexillium. Good luck.
