title: Role of gallium in alloy-porcelain bonding.
abstract: With scanning electron micrographs and semiquantitative x-ray analysis, the role of gallium in alloy-porcelain bonding was studied. The insight gained from this study should be of interest to both dentists and laboratory technicians making ceramometal restorations.
