Abstract

Dental alloys based on silver and palladium have not been used equally
long in fixed prosthodontics therapy. In order to prove that they really are two different alloys, micrographic, SEM and EDX analyses have conducted, and the values o f the microhardness (HV 0.2) o f casts been measured. Results show that they are two alloys which differ with regard to composition, microstructure, distribution of elements and values of microhardness, and that these terms are unjustifiably identified in practice.

Keywords
