18. Element uses
Platinum increases the hardness and
elasticity of gold and raises the
melting temperature of the alloy.
Silver ďźEffective in neutralizing the
reddish color of copper in Au/Cu
alloys
ďźIn palladium based alloys, silver is
needed to develop the white color
of the alloys.
Palladium tarnish/ corrosion resistance
Zinc as an oxygen scavenger
Indium promote a gold-like color in pd-Ag-
based alloys
Iridium or ruthenium as a grain refiner

Type of gold alloys Uses & properties
Type 1 Inlays supported by teeth and not
subjected to significant mastication forces
Type 2 Widely used for inlays, but they have less
ductility than type 1 alloys.
Type 3 Crowns and onlays for high-stress areas.
Type 4 High-stress areas such as bridges and
partial denture frameworks.

ď RIGID TO RESIST FLEXURE
ď HIGH YIELD STRENGTH
ď DUCTILE ADJUSTMENT IN THE CLASP
Changes of alloy color
caused by the reduction in
gold
compensated for by an
increase in copper, silver,
and palladium
Higher silver and copper
content
reduces the corrosion
resistance
23. To harden the alloy, the temperature of the furnace is set
between 200 °C and 450 °C and the casting is heated for
15 to 30 minutes before it is quenched in water.
The tensile strength, proportional limit, and hardness are
reduced by such a treatment, and the ductility is increased
To soften the alloy, the casting is placed in a furnace for
10 minutes at 700 °C and then quenched in water.
24. These alloys are white and
predominantly silver in composition, but
they contain at least 25% of palladium to
provide nobility and increase the tarnish
resistance of the alloy.
The copper-free Ag-pd alloys may
have physical properties similar to
those of a type 3 gold alloy.
Despite reports of poor castability,
Ag-pd alloys can produce acceptable
castings.
The major limitation of ag-pd alloys is
their greater potential for tarnish and
corrosion.
Silver-Palladium
Alloys
25. The amount of corrosion expected
during service is negligible if the
palladium content is greater than
25%.
By melting palladium and indium at
the composition of 50% in and 50%
pd the alloy is copper colored but
increasing the palladium content
causes the alloy to lose its reddish
color and acquire a gold color.
A minimum of 15% by weight of
pd-in intermetallic compound is
needed to maintain the yellowish
color.
Silver, copper, and/or gold can be
added to increase the ductility and
improve the castability of the alloy
for dental applications.

32. An argon/arc with a non-consumable tungsten electrode
or high-frequency induction is used for melting titanium
alloys in an argon or helium atmosphere.
Crucibles are made of copper, magnesia, or carbon
Centrifugal force, casting pressure difference, and gas
pressure have been used to force the molten-metal flow
into the mold.
To eliminate the effect of oxygen during fabrication of
titanium prostheses, computer-aided design/computer-
aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has been used to
produce fixed prosthesis frameworks.

37. When a metal-ceramic prosthesis is cooled from the
sintering temperature, the metal and its veneering
ceramic contract at different rates because of
differences in their thermal contraction coefficients.
Meanwhile, the chemical bond between the metal
and the porcelain prevents the two components from
separating; this condition forces the two components
to adjust their respective dimensions in response to
stresses that develop during the cooling cycle.
Thus, the component that contracts more will be
stretched by the adjacent component, which
contracts less; at the same time, the material that
contracts less will be compressed by the other.
38. Such changes in dimension are
controlled by certain stresses that act on
each of the two components
If the transient tensile stresses that
develop during cooling are
insufficient to cause immediate
cracking of the porcelain or delayed
cracking after cooling to room
temperature, the combination of a
metal-porcelain system is
considered thermally compatible.

44. This adverse effect has been
overcome recently by the
compositional modification of
some veneering porcelains.
Discoloration of the porcelain
near the cervical region of the
metal-ceramic prosthesis has
been reported to occur when a
silver-containing alloy is used
as the substrate.
Color changes included green,
yellow-green, yellow-orange,
orange, and brown hues.
This discoloration
phenomenon has generally
been called âgreening.â
The extent of porcelain
discoloration was most severe
for higher-silver-content
alloys, lighter shades, lower
opacifier and higher sodium
contents.
50. The brand name of the alloy, the alloy type, and the porcelain. The
response allows you to determine if the alloy has been tested and
accepted according to the standards of national or international
standards organizations (ADA, ISO, British Standards Institute [BSI]
etc.).
The number of years of experience with the material systems and
main problems encountered. If the system has been used for less
than 3 years, limited information will be available on its clinical
performance. If porcelain debonding or crack formation is the major
problem, find another laboratory or a more reliable product.
If there is difficulty in soldering the alloy or bonding porcelain to it,
the laboratory should provide evidence of at least 3 years of proven
success of the system used in all aspects of use for the indicated
purposes.
57. The computer controlled milling machine can then perform the milling or grinding for fabrication
of a ceramic prosthesis within a few minutes.
Within minutes, the prosthesis can be fabricated and placed on prepared teeth and bonded or
cemented in the mouth of the patient in a time ranging from 10 minutes to 1 hour
The image data can be retrieved immediately to mill or grind a metal, ceramic, or composite
prosthesis by computer control from a solid block of the chosen material.
Stores these data in the memory of a computer.
The optical scanning procedure eliminates the need for an impression
A CAD-CAM system electronically or digitally records surface coordinates of the prepared teeth

61. The metal powder is first spread across the
working platform
A laser traces the outline of each part being
printed, and metal powder is fused to the layer
below it.
As the platform is lowered, a new layer of
material is spread across the platform and the
process is repeated until the printing process is
completed. This process is called direct laser
metal sintering (DLMS).
For dental applications, the metal powder can be
titanium, Co-Cr, or a noble metal.
