Comparison of microstructures and mechanical properties of 3 cobalt-chromium alloys fabricated with soft metal milling technology
Although several manufacturers market soft metal milling blanks and systems, comprehensive comparative studies of differences in properties across commercially available soft metal milling alloys are lacking.Shear bond strength of porcelain to a new millable alloy and a conventional castable alloy
A recently introduced presintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy for metal ceramic restorations can be efficiently processed with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques. However, little or no reliable study data are available regarding the bonding ability of porcelain to milled Co-Cr alloys.
