Gold in DentistryGold in Dentistry• Gold is distinctly useful to dentistry for two

reasons:– It’s very malleable and easy to work with.– It’s completely inert to saliva and other body

chemistry.

• These qualities make gold a perfect material to build crowns and bridges that form to the unique shape of teeth.

• Also, gold dental parts will never corrode and are not harmful if swallowed. – That’s why gold teeth are so common!
