Abstract / Excerpt:

Fourteen dental casting alloys were analyzed for release of nickel and beryllium into acidic salivary solutions in vitro. Corrosion rates of varying pH levels and time in solution were calculated through the 120-day level, and the possible significance of these rates to allergic reactions or other health hazards were postulated.
