Abstract

In this paper corrosion resistance of experimental dental Co-Cr-X (X = Mo, Ni) alloys, high purity titanium and Ag-amalgam was studied in Ringer’s solution. On the basis of electrochemical measurements, the relevant indicator of general corrosion jcorr, which is used for ranking of materials, was determined. It was found that commercial alloy Wironit® is the most stable material followed by pure titanium, Co-Cr-Mo and Co-Cr-Ni alloys, while amalgam showed the lowest resistance in the experimental conditions of model oral cavity medium.
