The purpose of this study was to observe the change of mechanical property and microstructure in porcelain fused to gold alloy by heat treatment. PFG alloys are composed with Au-Pd-Ag alloy of the additional elements with indium, tin and copper. Specimens were tested in hardness using vicker,s micro-hardness tester and the surface micro structural changes were analysed by SEM and EDS. The results were as fellows: 1. The vickers hardness showed highest in Au-Pd-Ag alloy of the additional element with tin. 2. By hardening-oxiding result, the vicker,s hardness increased in additional element with tin but there was no significant difference in additional elements with indium and copper. 3. The surface oxide layer of Au-Pd-Ag alloy with added indium and tin increased but there was small change in additional element with copper. 4. The elements of indium and tin increased with increasing heat treatment in the surface alloy.

This study was carried out by observing to composition of oxide on the surface of dental porcelain low gold alloy with various Indium additions according to the degassing and analysing the change composition of additional elements In on diffusion behaviors of Porcelain-matal surface. The specimens used were Au-Pd-Ag alloys by small indium addition. These specimens were treated for 10min at $1000^{\circ}C$ in vacuum condition. To investigate the microsturcture of oxidized alloy surface, SEM and EDAX were used, and EPMA were used to investigate the diffusion behaviors of porcelain-metal surface. X-ray diffraction were used to observe the morphological changes in the oxidation zone. The results of this study were obtained as follows ; 1) The hardness of alloy increased with increasing amount of In addition. 2) The formation of oxidation increased with increasing In content after heat treatment. 3) Diffusion of indium elements increased with increasing In content in metal-porcelain surface after firing. 4) The oxidations of alloy surface were mainly $In_2O_3$.

The followings are dealing with 10 dental alloys with less then 30% gold, manufactured by S company 7, and by H company 3. We could find several noticable things by examining them about tarnish and corrosion with human saliva and several other chemicals, and through metal microscopy. 1) After the samples were submerged in human saliva for 3 months, the colour of the samples were no remarkable change. 2) taking a consideration of the error of santorius balance, also there had been little corrosive changes in human saliva. 3) The colour of A-4 was changed into red in 0.05% HCI solution, while that of P-B was changed into black in 0.1% Na₂S solution and severely corroded samples, P-B, X, and Z lost their original colour and turned black. 4) In case of submerging in H₂NO₃reagent, 50%, it caused serious diminishing changes in weight, that is, X 2.7%, Pb 31.0%, Z 40.5%, and there happened tremble corrosive reaction. 5) Seeing them through metal microscopy, we can obserre the corroded samples changed into the shape of.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of metal primers on the bonding of dental alloys and veneer resin. Polyvinylpyrrolidone solution's tarnish effect on bonding strength was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Disk-shape metal specimens (diameter 8 mm, thickness 1.5 mm) were made from 3 kinds of alloy (Co-Cr, Ti and Au-Ag-Pd alloy) and divided into 4 groups per each alloy. Half specimens (n=12 per group) in tarnished group were immersed into polyvinylpyrrolidone solution for 24 hours. In Co-Cr and Ti-alloy, Alloy Primer (MDP + VBATDT) and MAC-Bond II (MAC-10) were applied, while Alloy Primer and V-Primer (VBATDT) were applied to Au-Ag-Pd alloys. After surface treatment, veneering composite resin were applied and shear bond strength test were conducted. RESULTS. Alloy Primer showed higher shear bond strength than MAC-Bond II in Co-Cr alloys and Au-Ag-Pd alloy (P<.05). However, in Ti alloy, there was no significant difference between Alloy Primer and MAC-Bond II. Tarnished Co-Cr and Au-Ag-Pd alloy surfaces presented significantly decreased shear bond strength. CONCLUSION. Combined use of MDP and VBATDT were effective in bonding of the resin to Co-Cr and Au-Ag-Pd alloy. Tarnish using polyvinylpyrrolidone solution negatively affected on the bonding of veneer resin to Co-Cr and Au-Ag-Pd alloys.

Passive fitting of meso-structure and super-structures is a predominant requirement for the longevity and clinical success of osseointegrated dental implants. However, precision and passive fitting has been unpredictable with conventional methods of casting as well as for corrective techniques. Alternative to conventional techniques, electro discharge machining(EDM) is an advanced method introduced to dental technology to improve the passive fitting of implant prosthesis. In this technique material is removed by melting and vaporization in electric sparks. Regarding the efficacy of EDM, the application of this technique induces severe surface morphological and elemental alterations due to the high temperatures developed during machining, which vary between $10,000{\sim}20,000^{\circ}C$. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and elemental alterations induced by EDM process of casting dental gold alloy and non-precious alloy used for the production of implant-supported prosthesis. A conventional clinical dental casting alloys were used for experimental specimens patterns, which were divided in three groups, high fineness gold alloy(Au 75%, HG group), low fineness gold alloy(Au 55%, LG group) and nonprecious metal alloy(Ni-Cr, NP group). The UCLA type plastic abutment patterns were invested with conventional investment material and were cast in a centrifugal casting machine. Castings were sandblasted with $50{\mu}m\;Al_2O_3$. One casting specimen of each group was polished by conventional finishing(HGCON, LGCON, NPCON) and one specimen of each group was subjected to EDM in a system using Cu electrodes, kerosene as dielectric fluid in 10 min for gold alloy and 20 min for Ni-Cr alloy(HGEDM. LGEDM, NOEDM). The surface morphology of all specimens was studied under an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The quantitative results from EDS analysis are presented on the HGEDM and LGEDM specimens a significant increase in C and Cu concentrations was found after EDM finishing. The different result was documented for C on the NPEDM with a significant uptake of O after EDM finishing, whereas Al, Si showed a significant decrease in their concentrations. EDS analysis showed a serious uptake of C and Cu after the EDM procedure in the alloys studied. The C uptake after the EDM process is a common finding and it is attributed to the decomposition of the dielectric fluid in the plasma column, probably due to the development of extremely high temperatures. The Cu uptake is readily explained from the decomposition of Cu electrodes, something which is also a common finding after the EDM procedure. However, all the aforementioned mechanisms require further research. The clinical implication of these findings is related with the biological and corrosion resistance of surfaces prepared by the EDM process.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced diagnostic tool used in both medicine and dentistry. Since it functions based on a strong uniform static magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses, it is advantageous over imaging techniques that rely on ionizing radiation. Unfortunately, the magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses generated within the magnetic resonance imager interact unfavorably with dental materials that have magnetic properties. This leads to unwanted effects such as artifact formation, heat generation, and mechanical displacement. These are a potential source of damage to the oral tissue surrounding the affected dental materials. This review aims to compile, based on the current available evidence, recommendations for dentists and radiologists regarding the safety and appropriate management of dental materials during MRI in patients with orthodontic appliances, maxillofacial prostheses, dental implants, direct and indirect restorative materials, and endodontic materials.

The purposed of this work was to determine surface charateristics of anodized Ti-30Nb-xTa alloys with Ta content. Samples were prepared by arc melting, followed by followed by homogenization for 12 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. The electrolyte for anodization treatment was prepared by mixing 465ml $H_2O$ with 35M $H_3PO_4$ and anodized at 180V to 220V. The microstructures of the alloys were examined by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and optical microscopy (OM). Surface characteristics of anodized Ti-30Nb-xTa alloys was investigated by potentiodynamic test and potentiostatic in 0.9% Nacl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the changed ${\alpha}$ phase to ${\beta}$ phase with Ta content.
