A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Dental alloys

Dental alloys are metallic mixtures used to fabricate crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances. Mastering their composition, mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour, and biocompatibility is essential for predicting clinical performance and avoiding complications such as metal hypersensitivity or mechanical failure.
