I just completed a Maryland bridge for a client/dentist. For #25, an
immediate, with wings from, 23 to 27. The dr asked for it to be
fabricated in non-precious metal. I had to purchase one that matched
the coefficient of thermal expansion, CTE, of the porcelain system I
use. The alloys creator claims, "Medically Pure 99.99+%", Highly
Biocompatible with living tissue", "since 1984 with a 100% success
rate" "We use only VIRGIN metals, straight from the mines that have
been highly refined, electrocized, and vacum roasted (like coffee lol)
to eliminate impurities such as, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Sulfur,
Phosphorous, Iron, Tin, and even Nitrogen. Then they are distilled and
homoginized" "Registered with the F.D.A. under Medical Devices that are
implanted into the body, and manufactured under the F.D.A. and A.D.A
guidelines and have recieved the I.S.O. Certification withe the C.E.
Mark." "insured to protect the lab, Dentist and patient for 5 million
dollars."" If they were not safe the insurance cmpany would not have
insured it"
The bridge came out really nice. Even with repeated firings. I had to
lengthen it bc its an immediate.

OK, doctors, whats your take on Non precious? It seems to be an
affordable alternative to gold.
As biocompatible as 75% AU the company claims.
Thanks! Alex

Nickel 60-76%
Chromium12-21%
Molybbdenum4-14%
Titanium4-6%
Intermetalic Berylide <1.8

there are a lot of non-precious metals. The most biocompatible metals are
these without NI and BE.
Of course the presious are different but some composition of non-precious
metals could be more stable or possible to make very thin

    Wow--this points up that we should be aware of the alloys being used in
our restorations.
    First of all, many people show sensitivity to nickel--I am rather
surprised that there are alloys that still have significant amounts of
it.  For your own safety as a tech, avoid beryllium like the plague it
is.  The wife of a former poster who is a lab tech is now suffering with
serious berylliosis.

    Not as "former" as some might think.
