Abstract:Cobalt-Cr alloys produced using the traditional lost-wax casting method are commonly used to produce porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns because of their good mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and wear [1-3]. However, selective laser melting (SLM) has recently been introduced as a manufacturing technique for the Co-Cr metal substructure of PFM crown restorations and has attracted the attention of dentists. SLM creates three-dimensional (3D) metal components using … Show more
