Soldering Welding in Dentistry The word soldering is used if two pieces of metal are joined by means of a third (filer) metal. Ideal Requirements of Dental Solder: It should melt at a low temperature. When melted, it should be wet and flow freely over the parent metal. Its color should match that of the metal being joined. It should be resistant to tarnish and … [Read more...] about Dental Solders: Types, Properties, and Applications in Dentistry

Welding Techniques In Dentistry Welding in Dentistry Welding is the process by which two pieces of similar metals are joined together without addition of another metal. Types of Welding: Cold welding: In this type of welding, there is no use of heat. This is carried out by hammering or pressure, for example, Gold foil filing Hot welding: In this type of welding, … [Read more...] about Welding Techniques in Dentistry: Types, Applications, and Common Failures
