Alloys for crown and bridgework

P J Brockhurst, R W Cannon

    Australian Dental Journal
    |October 1, 1981

    Summary

    This study examines metal-ceramic alloys for dental restorations. High gold, reduced gold, silver palladium, and base metal alloys function well, with no identified health risks from nickel or beryllium.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental materials science
    • Biomaterials engineering

    Background:

    • Metal-ceramic restorations are widely used in dentistry.
    • High gold alloys have traditionally been preferred but are costly.
    • The need for cost-effective alternatives necessitates evaluating other alloy types.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the functional requirements and manipulative characteristics of various alloys for metal-ceramic crowns and bridgework.
    • To compare the cost-effectiveness of alternatives to high gold alloys.
    • To assess the clinical performance and safety of different alloy types.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of functional requirements for dental alloys.
    • Analysis of manipulative behavior and cost of alternative alloys.
    • Assessment of clinical performance data for various alloy types.
    • Evaluation of potential health hazards associated with alloy components.

    Main Results:

    • All evaluated alloy types (high gold, reduced gold, silver palladium, base metal) demonstrate satisfactory clinical function for crowns and bridgework.
    • Nickel and beryllium, common in base metal alloys, do not appear to pose significant health hazards.
    • While alternative alloys offer cost savings, their adoption may require modifications in dental laboratory procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Various alloys, including silver palladium and base metal, are suitable for metal-ceramic restorations.
    • The selection of alloy should consider both laboratory procedures and overall patient cost.
    • Cost-effective alloy alternatives can increase accessibility to permanent dental restorations.
