Titanium crowns were cast using experimental magnesia-based investment mixed with hydrolysed sol. Ten types of hydrolysed sol were used, adding a catalyst to each sol whether the setting (hardening) of the magnesia investment powder appeared within 3 h after mixing. A penetration test using a Vicat

✦ Synopsis
Undersizing of cast Ti crowns has been reported to be a problem. The diameter of standardized, cylindrical crowns was studied in this investigation using a photographic technique and cold moulds. The results show that the dimensional problem can be avoided by selecting a standard phosphate-bonded investment with a sufficiently high thermal expansion coefficient. Appropriate casting conditions with a good vacuum (13.3 Pa) gives only a thin ( < 10 lim) oxide film and reproducible dimensions of the castings. A ZrO 2 coating eliminates or reduces the oxide film and follows the movements of the investment. The diameter of the crown can largely be accounted for by the measured expansion of the investment and thermal contraction of the Ti casting.

## Abstract This study investigated the machinability of cast orthopedic titanium (metastable β) alloys for possible application to dentistry and compared the results with those of cast CP Ti, Ti‐6Al‐4V, and Ti‐6Al‐7Nb, which are currently used in dentistry. Machinability was determined as the amou
Failures that occur in titanium-ceramic restorations are of concern in clinical dentistry. The purpose of this study was to nondestructively characterize the internal cracks and nonadherent defects at the titanium-porcelain interface using scanning acoustic microscopy. Titanium samples coated with p
