ODONTOLOGIC USE OF COPPER/ALUMINUM ALLOYS: MITOCHONDRIAL RESPIRATION AS SENSITIVE PARAMETER OF BIOCOMPATIBILITY

Odontologic use of copper/aluminum alloys: mitochondrial respiration as sensitive parameter of biocompatibility

Copper/aluminum alloys are largely utilized in odontological restorations because they are less expensive than gold or platinum.However, tarnishing and important corrosion in intrabuccal prostheses made with copper/aluminum alloys after 28 days of use have been reported.Several kinds of food Mug and beverage may attack and corrode these alloys.Copp
