Abstract |
An air-sampling survey was conducted to determine whether or not the use of beryllium-containing non-precious alloys constitutes a dental occupational hazard. The biocompatibility of certain non-precious alloys was also assessed by means of animal implants. Results show that with proper local exhaust ventilation, non-precious beryllium containing alloys may be used safely in dental laboratories. The biocompatibility study demonstrates that several non-precious alloys produce a mild histological response not significantly different from that produced by the control gold-based alloy and less than that produced by zinc oxide and engenol cement and silicate cement. |
