Abstract

Dentistry without metals is impossible. It is used for various reasons like posts, crowns, orthodontic braces and brackets. Tooth coloured materials like ceramics also have different metallic oxides as part of their composition. Even the so called resin composites used in dentistry as tooth coloured restorative materials have traces of metals in them which serve various purposes. It is impossible to imagine metal free dentistry. This article provides an in detail review of the various metals and alloys used in dentistry.
