Dental casting defects: Managing Defects and Ensuring Precision in Modern Restorations

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the dental casting process within the field of prosthodontics, covering the transition from traditional lost-wax techniques to modern digital alternatives. The book explores the fundamental principles of metal casting, including alloy selection, spruing design, investment materials, and burnout procedures, while identifying the etiology of various casting defects such as porosity, distortion, and surface irregularities. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of quality control and the impact of these defects on clinical longevity, ultimately highlighting how modern technologies like CAD/CAM and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) are mitigating historical challenges in prosthetic fabrication.
