Interventions This is a randomised controlled trial, patients having cobalt chromium bonded saddle partial dentures made at Guy's Hospital will be randomised into two groups, comparing master impressions for partial dentures made using either irreversible hydrocolloid or polyvinylsiloxane impression material. Fit of the resulting cobalt chromium castings will be judged using an accepted method on master models and in the mouth, before and after adjustment. The amount of adjustment, if any, will be noted. Numbers of acceptable and unacceptable castings will be recorded.

Added July 2008: the trial was stopped due to lack of funding.
Primary outcome measure(s) Fit of denture castings, need for adjustment and acceptability.
Secondary outcome measure(s) Not provided at time of registration
