The chemistry of microstructures near the interfacial reaction zones of four non-precious alloys and two different brands of dental porcelain has been analyzed. It was found that most non-precious dental alloys contain second phases which can alter elemental concentration profiles. Recommendations for assessing interfacial reaction zone chemistry in dental non-precious alloys are offered.
