Cast connectors: an alternative to soldering base metal alloys. 1986

A W Fehling, and B P Sansom, and E T Meiser, and P F Johnson

A solderless technique has been described for correcting an unstable framework of a base metal fixed partial denture. This technique has been used without failure since 1981 for cast joints with porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed partial dentures.

D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.

D012994 Dental Soldering The joining of pieces of metal through the use of an alloy which has a lower melting point, usually at least 100 degrees Celsius below the fusion temperature of the parts being soldered. In dentistry, soldering is used for joining components of a dental appliance, as in assembling a bridge, joining metals to orthodontic bands, or adding to the bulk of certain structures, such as the establishment of proper contact areas on inlays and crowns with adjacent teeth.
