Manipal Journal of Medical Sciences

Purpose: The objective is to assess how the bond between metal and ceramic is impacted by recasting the base metal alloy. Materials and Methods: A total of 78 metal-ceramic specimens were created using beryllium-free nickel-chromium alloy from Dentalloy International Pvt Ltd.
