Automatic electropolishing of cobalt chromium dental cast alloys with a fuzzy logic controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cavities and ageing leads to a higher demand for robust and durable dentures. Cobalt chromium dental cast alloys fulfill these requirements. After the casting, the alloys have to be thoroughly cleaned in an electrochemical dissolution bath. In the existing technology an expert has to control the polishing process. In this paper we present a fuzzy logic controller with 16 fuzzy rules, which completely automatize the polishing process of cobalt chromium cast alloys. The user has to only put the untreated cast alloys in the polishing machine and press the start button. Our experiments have shown, that the treated dentures have a consistent, very high quality during the service life of the electrolyte. Furthermore, the exchange point of the electrolyte is also automatically determined. The proposed strategy can be extended to other polishing processes with different cast alloys or electrolyte concentrations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dental alloys have different mechanical properties compared with enamel. However, few studies have been conducted to determine the effects of the retention forces of clasps when applied on different cast crowns. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retention forces of cast circumferential clasps made of cobalt-chromium alloy on complete cast crowns made o...
متن کاملBond strength of three dental porcelains to Ni-Cr and Co-Cr-Ti alloys.
Ceramometal bond strength has played an important role for the replacement of gold alloys by nickel-chromium alloys in dentistry. This study evaluated the metal/porcelain bond strength of three ceramic systems (Vita VMK 88, Williams and Duceram) associated with three nickel-chromium alloys (Durabond, Lite Cast B and Resistal P) and one experimental cobalt-chromium-titanium alloy. Thirty cast cy...
