[Investigation of the castings marginal adaptation using investment expansion methods].

Abstract

The research in the field of metal casting has recorded a continual progress in dentistry. Particularly, due to the economic problems posed by the use of gold alloys relatively inexpensive metal alloys tend to gain increased popularity. Application of such alloys physically in dentistry and their adaptability to various preparations are being studied. In castings where investment expansion methods are employed, and marginal adaptability of castings are evaluated, the results of variance analysis have indicated little significant difference due to the applied methods. However, the hygroscopic method has proved highly successful in terms of marginal adaptability.
