gold, pure platinum, pure iridium, and pure rhodium in combination with the gallium solution.All these alloys harden at room or mouth temperature and possess a wide range of properties.By suitable alloying of these ele- ments with each other or with pure palladium, a considerable variation in properties can be obtained for their respective gallium alloys.The use of intermediate phases containing high percentages of palladium such as Pd2Ga can also produce hard gallium alloys, and inter- mediate phases of the other platinum-group metals might also be used. Summary and ConclusionsAs a result of this research it has been established that gallium-palladium alloys possess a number of properties which may make them superior to dental amalgam as a restorative dental material.1.An ability to "wet" the tooth structure. 2. Higher strengths and greater resistance to flow.3. Greater retention of strength at higher D.C, 20201.
