Influence of casting procedure on silver-palladium endodontic posts.

A N Stokes, J A Hood

    Journal of Dentistry
    |December 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carbon absorption during casting significantly reduces the mechanical properties of silver-palladium posts. Using ceramic crucibles, instead of graphite, preserves alloy integrity for dental applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Metallurgical Engineering
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Silver-palladium alloys are clinically favored alternatives to gold alloys for dental posts and cores.
    • Carbon absorption during heating and casting negatively impacts the mechanical properties of these alloys.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the tensile characteristics of endodontic posts made from silver-palladium alloy.
    • To compare the effects of graphite versus ceramic crucibles on the alloy's mechanical properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Endodontic posts were cast using silver-palladium alloy in both graphite and ceramic crucibles.
    • Tensile characteristics, specifically percentage elongation, were determined for the cast posts.

    Main Results:

    • Posts cast with graphite crucibles exhibited significantly lower percentage elongation (P < 0.00001) compared to those cast with ceramic crucibles.
    • This confirms the detrimental effect of carbon absorption from graphite crucibles.

    Conclusions:

    • A carbon-free casting environment is essential for maintaining the mechanical integrity of silver-palladium alloys in dental applications.
    • The specific post design tested yielded lower mechanical properties than standard metallurgical tests.
