title: Palladium alloys in prosthodontics: selected aspects.
abstract: The high costs of gold and platinum have caused other alloys to be considered in the construction of prosthetic appliances. This paper reports on the grain structure, corrosion resistance and microstructure of palladium alloys. Also discussed are the properties of these alloys and how these affect their technical manipulation.
