The gold-alloy surface of a dental gold-porcelain system was studied by optical and electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and spectroscopy before and after firing of porcelain. Changes in surface structure along with the appearance of tin oxide, believed to influence interfacial bonding strongly, were detected after firing.
