Metals used:
- Gold alloys
- Palladium-based alloys
- Platinum
Why these metals are used:
Dental posts are vital for supporting crowns and bridges. Gold alloys are used for their malleability and resistance to tarnishing, ensuring the post remains structurally sound while avoiding corrosion in the moist oral environment. Palladium is added to increase the strength of the post, preventing deformation over time. Platinum is often used for additional hardness and resistance to wear, ensuring the post remains durable enough to support restorations for long-term use.
