An electron microprobe analyzer was used in area and line-scanning modes at the interfaces of several types of gold-porcelain crown systems. High concentrations of trace elements diffusing to the boundaries were clearly revealed. These trace elements are, therefore, believed to play an important role in the system bonding.
