Which of the following will produce the most rigid restoration for framework of same dimension ?

Correct answer: C. Cobalt-chrome alloys

  • A. Wrought alloy
  • B. Palladium alloys
  • C. Cobalt-chrome alloys
  • D. Partial denture casting gold in hardened condition

Explanation

Rigidity for frameworks of identical dimensions depends mainly on the modulus of elasticity. Cobalt-chromium has a higher modulus than wrought alloys, palladium alloys, and hardened casting gold, so it produces the most rigid framework.
