Summary

This review examines casting alloys, covering their metallurgy, clinical use, and sales history. It classifies alloys by fusion type (normal-fusing and high-fusing) and nobility, detailing normal-fusing types in Part I.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Casting alloys are crucial in dentistry and prosthetics.
  • Understanding alloy properties is essential for material selection.
  • Historical evolution impacts current material choices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the status of casting alloys.
  • To classify alloys based on metallurgical and clinical properties.
  • To provide a historical perspective on alloy development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of casting alloys.
  • Classification based on fusion characteristics (normal-fusing and high-fusing).
  • Categorization by nobility within fusion groups.

Main Results:

  • Casting alloys are categorized into normal-fusing (non-porcelain bonding) and high-fusing (porcelain bonding) types.
  • Nobility is a key factor within these classifications.
  • Part I focuses specifically on normal-fusing alloys.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of casting alloy classification is presented.
  • Metallurgical and clinical properties guide alloy selection.
  • This review provides a foundation for understanding advanced alloy systems.
