Non-Gold Base Dental Casting Alloys. Volume 2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Alloys

摘要

This test and evaluation program classified and examined several representative examples of non-gold base, porcelain-fused-to-metal alloys. The systems, or groups, included the following precious and non-precious alloys: High palladium-copper, high palladium-cobalt, palladium-silver, nickel-chromium-beryllium, nickel-chromium beryllium-free, and cobalt-chromium. General information on terminology, dental porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal alloys, investing, spruing, casting biocompatibility, laboratory safety, and cost comparisons was also included. In addition, detailed processing instructions for the representative alloys have been provided.
