The Toyotarity as an Element to Proper Selection of Co Alloys in Dentistry

Stanisław Borkowski

The paper presents the characteristics and systematics of commercial cobaltbased alloys. The focus is mainly on the alloy, which are widely used in prosthetic dentistry in many dental laboratories. Cobalt alloys, various manufacturers were ranked based on the content of the main component (Co), mechanical properties, applications. The aim of this work was to facilitate the selection of the cobalt-based alloys in the course of construction and prosthetic work.
