Abstract

Measurements of electrode potentials of individual half-cells and galvanic currents between dentures made of gold, silver-palladium alloys, and stainless steel with titanium nitride coating, carried out in conditions of mechanic activation, have revealed that these parameters did not surpass the values characteristic of homogeneous elements. Therefore the aforesaid alloys are fairly well compatible in the oral cavity and may be combined in denture making.
