چکیده

The cytotoxicity of a series of dental casting alloys in the as-cast and polished condition was determined with cell culture techniques involving phase contrast microscopy to examine cell morphology and the succinic dehydrogenase histochemical reaction to measure any ring of inhibition of Balb/c 3T3 cellular respiration around alloys. Crown and bridge casting alloys and a nickel- and a cobalt-base alloy were biocompatible in the polished condition, but less so in the as-cast condition. The only two exceptions were casting alloys containing 50-60 wt% Cu. Porcelain-fused-to-metal alloys were biocompatible in either the as-cast or polished condition. This direct contact method appeared satisfactory for evaluating biocompatibility of dental casting alloys, especially since these materials are in contact with gingival tissues.

Casting 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...

“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...

Effect of casting conditions on some mechanical properties of cobalt-base alloys.

The casting of cobalt-base alloys in dentistry is comparatively new in relation to the casting of gold alloys and other restorative procedures. It has been less than thirty years since these alloys were introduced to dentistry, but each year they have become more popular. A survey of the choice of dental alloys for removable partial dentures conducted by Lane' in 1949 showed that five times as ...
