Only recently has laser welding been applied to dental technology, primarily as an alternative to soldering. This article addresses how the laser is used for welding, the effect welding has on metals as the energy is converted into heat and reacts with the alloy's surface and the practicality of laser welding in the dental laboratory. A step-by-step procedure for accomplishing laser-welded connections in a fixed partial denture is included. A laser-welded clasp repair using wrought wire and the addition of custom cast parts welded to an existing removable partial denture framework on the master model are also shown.
In this study, which won the NBC Fellowship Project, the author measured expansion and contraction in two soldering and six casting investments to determine which are most accurate (defined as marginal gap less than 50 micrometers and lack of movement with alternating finger pressure) under a number of manipulated parameters, including water/powder ratio, setting time, span length and burnout temperature. It was determined that all investments demonstrated slight expansion between initial and final set. Substantial contraction occurred in all investments when subjected to heat. Vestra, CB-30 and Cera-Fina demonstrated the greatest contraction at 1500 degrees F. Hi-Heat [corrected] (soldering), Quick Set, High Span, Vivest, and Hi-Temp (casting) demonstrated greatest contraction at 2000 degrees F. The purpose of the study and the methods and materials used are explained in part 1. The results and conclusions will be presented in part 2. An introduction to elevated fixturing and a verification of the study results will be presented in part 3.
