The casting of Defects:

• Distortion
• Surface roughness
• Porosity is one of the most common types of defect in dental casting
• Incomplete casting
• Contaminated casting.

The porosity of Defects:

Porosity may be external or internal. External porosity can cause “discoloration” of the casting. Internal porosity weakens the restoration.

Casting Failures & Defects in Dentistry

Porosities are Classified as:

• Those caused by solidification shrinkage:
  • Localized shrinkage porosity
  • Suck back porosity
  • Microporosity.
• Those caused by gas:
  • Pinhole porosity
  • Gas inclusion (spherical in shape)
  • Subsurface porosity.
• Those caused by air trapped in the mold:
  • Back pressure porosityimg
