Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the release of element from, and the biological response in vitro to, cobalt-chromium alloys and other base-metal alloys used for the fabrication of metal-ceramic restorations. Material and methods: Eighteen different alloys were investigated. Nine cobalt-chromium alloys, three nickel-chromium alloys, two cobalt-chromium-iron alloys, one pal...

1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) has been used for the simultaneous and individual determination of palladium and cobalt at trace levels. PAN complexes of palladium and cobalt at neutral pH form green-color neutral complexes, which are soluble in aqueous SDS micellar media. Under optimum conditions, calibration graphs for individual determinations by zero and first-derivative spectrophotometry...

The problems in patch testing and relevance evaluation as well as the practical consequences are discussed for the most important groups of dental materials (DM). These include metal alloys: amalgam with a low allergy prevalence; palladium salts showing a high correlation with nickel allergy but a low one with metallic palladium or alloys; the widespread allergen nickel is most relevant when de...

The use of N-11-octylaniline in xylene for extraction of palladium(II) from salicylate media is studied. The extraction system is studied as a function of equilibration time, diluent, pH, metal and extractant concentrations. Experimental data have been analyzed graphically to determine the stoichiometry of extracted species. It was found that palladium(II) was extracted into the organic phase b...

Previously, high temperature properties of the silver-palladium-copper-gold alloy were investigated. In this study, the thermal expansion percentage and coefficient, and high temperature strengths of ADAS Type 3 gold alloy were investigated up to the liquidus temperature. Furthermore, microstructural and compositional changes in the solid/liquid dual phase were studied. The following conclusion...

Hydrogen sorption/desorption signals observed on cyclic voltammograms in experiments on hydrogen electrosorption into Pd-noble metal alloys (Pd-Au, Pd-Pt, Pd-Rh, Pd-Ru, Pd-Pt-Rh, Pd-Pt-Au) were characterized. The influence of electrosorption potential, scan rate and alloy bulk composition on the features of the hydrogen peaks was investigated. The experimental results were compared with those o...

Temperature dependencies of thermal expansion coefficients for the alloys of Pd-Ag, Pd-Cu and Pd-Co binary systems were measured at temperatures up to 900 degrees C, with heating and cooling rates of 5 degrees C/min. The coefficient of thermal expansion of alloys with no transformation in the temperature range of interest in porcelain firing was well approximated by a linear equation of tempera...
