Electrochemical Behavior of Alloys for Fixed Partial Denture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrochemical behaviors of eight parent alloys and four post-solder alloys used in dental prostheses were specified in a (pH=7.4; [NaCl]=9g/L)-aqueous solution at 37°C. For each alloy, the free potential was followed during two hours, and a cyclic polarization between the cathodic domain and the solvent’s oxidation was performed. The galvanic corrosion between each parent alloy and its usual post-solder was also studied. The free potentials stay in the immunity domain of the alloy’s base-elements (precious metals) or in their passivation domain (nickel, chromium). A relatively strong oxidation of the alloys is possible only for high values of applied potential. Corrosion of the noblest alloys is almost inexistent. It occurs for the nickel-base alloys but it is very slow. Most of the elements present can be oxidized, but only for high potentials which cannot be really achieved by dissolved oxygen. Galvanic corrosion can occur between the parent alloy and the post-solder alloy in some cases.

“An investigation of the corrosion characteristics of base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys"
Ceramo-metal dental casting alloys are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures (bridges). Ni-Cr and Co-Cr are base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys and now account for the majority of the fixed metalceramic restorations used clinically. The corrosion of these alloys result in release of elemental components with potential adverse biological reactions. It is of great importance to investiga...
متن کاملCasting of Titanium Alloys for Dental Applications
In dentistry, gold-based noble metal alloys have traditionally been cast into various types of dental prostheses, such as partial dentures, crowns, and bridges. More recently, less expensive dental alloys with base-metal elements, such as Co-Cr and Ni-Cr, have been used. Titanium is considered to be an attractive alternative to these traditional dental alloys because of its remarkable lack of t...

Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures have been in use for over 30 years, since the concept was first introduced in the 1970s. Initial efforts in this field suffered frequent early debond, but advances in metal alloys, treatment of the fitting surface and bonding techniques have made the resin-bonded fixed partial denture a predicable treatment modality. Design principles have also evolved. Origi...

Gold and chromium alloy fixed partial dentures of the maxillary posterior type have been studied with respect to surface strains using conditions of static loading. The two techniques used were the brittle lacquer' and electronic strain gauge2'3 methods. Brumfield4 presented work on the analysis of partial denture design using the classical beam theory. Bates5 measured dynamic strains on chromi...
