Dental alloys

Japanese: 歯科用合金 - しかようごうきん(英語表記)dental alloy
Dental alloys
Alloys used to repair teeth. Metal materials are used to fill holes left after the removal of damaged parts (inlays and amalgams), crowns to cover teeth, clasps to connect dentures to adjacent teeth, materials for denture bases, and for orthodontic treatment. Since a person's biting force can reach tens of kilograms and the teeth are repeatedly ground together, these materials need to be strong, and they must be relatively easy to form delicate dentures, have no dimensional changes during use, do not dissolve or deteriorate when exposed to saliva for long periods in the mouth, and do not cause harm to the human body.

Japanese:
歯を治すのに使われる合金。悪くなった部分を取り除いた孔への詰めもの(インレーやアマルガム),歯にかぶせるクラウン,入歯を隣の歯と結ぶクラスプ,入歯の床の材料,あるいは歯の矯正用などとして金属材料が使用されている。人のかむ力は数十kgに達し,繰り返しすりあわさるので,これらの材料は強さが必要であり,入歯の微妙な形が比較的容易にでき,しかも使用中に寸法の変化がなく,口のなかで唾液に長時間接して溶け出したり変質したりせず,人体に害を与えることがあってはならない。
