EVALUATION OF THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Ag-Au-Pd-Cu DENTAL ALLOYS
Abstract
The paper discusses four Ag-Au-Pd-Cu dental alloys, with different chemical compositions, which are used to produce fixed dental-prosthetic structures. These dental alloys must have a low level of biological risk after being implanted in the oral cavity, which means minimal release of ions from their surface, or the absence of corrosion, and, recently, the absence of ferromagnetism has been introduced as an additional requirement. The latter requirement is particularly important when magnetic resonance (MR) is used in the medical diagnosis of a patient who has an implanted fixed dental-prosthetic structure. With this technique, the internal structure of the human body is imaged using a strong magnetic field, radio waves and computer technology. Therefore, the absence of ferromagnetic, embedded biomaterials is necessary in the part of the body where medical diagnostics are performed. Microstructural investigations of four Ag-Au-Pd-Cu dental alloys (Auropal S, Auropal SE, Midor S and Midor SE) and measurements of their magnetic properties were carried out as part of the research. The results showed that Ag-Au-Pd-Cu dental alloys have a stable microstructure, which allows them to be processed later into fixed prosthetic constructions. The measurements of the magnetic properties showed that the Ag-Au-Pd-Cu dental alloys are diamagnetic.
