Casting Accuracy of Base-Metal Alloys,

Abstract

The effects of investment material on the casting accuracy of five base-metal alloys was evaluated. Overall, fit of the test castings was poor. Individual alloy-investment interaction appeared significant. Although marketed for use with base-metal alloys, it would appear that alteration of the investment manufacturers' recommended techniques are required to enhance the fit of base-metal restorations.
