Abstract
Dental technician's pneumoconiosis (DTP) is a rather recent finding in subjects exposed to the dust generated in dental laboratories produci ng metal-framed removable partial dentures from alloys based on cobalt , chromium, and molybdenum. This study presents details of the first t hree Swedish cases of DTP with some emphasis on the diagnostic procedu res and the dust exposure. A follow-up of at least 5 years from diagno sis is included.
