Over the years there have been many different applications for gold that have become quite popular and useful. These days gold is used in almost every industry in one way or another. Dentistry is no exception to this trend as gold is commonly used in many different dentistry applications for many different reasons. There are many different benefits that come from utilizing gold opposed to other metals for dentistry applications. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that it is resistant to corrosion. However some of the other qualities that make it ideal for dentistry applications are its biocompatibility as well as its malleability. The use of gold in dentistry applications is not something that is new. In fact there are examples of gold being used in dentistry as far back as the Etruscans in the seventh century BC. They used to use gold wire in order to hold substitute teeth from a cow or calf when their own teeth were damaged.

There are many different gold products that are commonly used in dentistry including pure gold metal that is usually in the form of foil, thin or powder flake like crystals. Some of the other forms of gold used for dentistry applications include wrought alloys, which as usually used as wires and plates, casting alloys and gold alloy solders. The main reason that gold is used for so many different dentistry applications is because of the fact that it doesn’t pose health risks that many other metals would if used in the same way. This is the reason that the dentistry industry continues to use gold for a number of different applications. If you are thinking about finding out more about the use of gold for dentistry applications, the best thing that you can do is contact your dentist in order to get any of the questions that you have answered.
