Fixed Prosthodontics Materials Flashcards
Porcelain adherence achieved in high noble metal alloys by adding
Tin and indium
Green discoloration caused by
Silver diffusing into sodium ions in porcelain, this is reduced by substituting potassium ions
Which gold alloy is harderst and strongest
ADA type IV
Gold solders are used for
Fixed bridgework
Silver solders are used for
orthodontic appliances
Modifies the orange color of copper
Silver
Increases hardness
Copper
Increases resistance to tarnish and corrosion
Gold
Recommneded distance between parts to be joined should be
0.25mm
A soldering joint should be
Circular in form and occupy region of the contact area
Most important prerequisite of soldering is
Cleanliness
Most common antiflux
Soft graphite pencil
The casting is placed in acidic solution which reduces surface oxides
Pickling
Fe(iron) is key in
PFM bonding to gold based alloys
Chromium is key in
PFM bonding to gold substitute alloys
