Feasibility Study on a Process for electroless Metal Deposition in Pits and Fissures of Teeth for Use in Preventive Dentistry.

Abstract

Further studies were undertaken to test the feasibility of using metal films, deposited by electroless or chemical means, for use in the military dental program. The research effort during the past year was concentrated in the following areas: evaluation of the effects of preliminary treatments on the quality of metal plating, the use of alternate or additional etching agents, the testing of alternate reducing agents (other than hydrazine and ferrous sulfate), and morphological and rate studies of the deposited silver films and the effects of additives.
