Analysis of microstructure and fatigue of cast versus selective laser-melted dental Co-Cr alloy
The forces exerted on teeth and prostheses during mastication are repeated and dynamic, resulting in fatigue damage to dental prostheses. Most fractures of dental restorations are fatigue failure. The 4-point bend fatigue behavior of Co-Cr-Mo-W alloys manufactured by investment casting (CAST) and selective laser melting (SLM) has received little attention.Effects of the rare earth element lanthanum on the metal-ceramic bond strength of dental casting Co-Cr alloys
The metal-ceramic bond strength of dental casting Co-Cr alloys may be improved by the addition of the rare earth element lanthanum (La), but studies are lacking.Comparative analysis of the microstructures and mechanical properties of Co-Cr dental alloys fabricated by different methods
Limited information is available regarding the microstructures and mechanical properties of Co-Cr dental alloys prepared using conventional casting (CAST), computer numerical control (CNC) milling, and selective laser melting (SLM).Evaluation of metal-ceramic bond characteristics of three dental Co-Cr alloys prepared with different fabrication techniques
Limited information is available regarding the metal-ceramic bond strength of dental Co-Cr alloys fabricated by casting (CAST), computer numerical control (CNC) milling, and selective laser melting (SLM).
