Restorative material is a class of dental materials used for direct filling and fabrication of indirect restoration. NiCr alloy is a restorative material frequently used for dental prostheses due to its properties and economic reasons. In present work beryllium free NiCrMo alloy was developed and studied for dental restoration application. The alloy have unique characteristics of resistance to oxidation and biocompatibility; the requisites for dental prostheses. NiCrMo alloy is found to possess mechanical strength and fabrication properties suitable for dental repairs. In this study the developed alloy was tested for its mechanical properties, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. An in-vitro biocompatibility study was carried out. No signs of toxicity and no signs of cell growth inhibition, in presence of NiCrMo alloy specimen, were observed. Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are found in the range that is suitable for dental prostheses and easy fabrication.

In order to improve the corrosion resistance, the samples made of Mg-Zn-Zr alloy were immersed in 20% or 40% hydrofluoric acid (HF) aqueous solutions for different intervals to prepare magnesium fluoride (MgF2) coating on the surface. By comparing the surface morphologies, the samples immersed in 20% HF solution for 6 h on which fine particles in nanoscale covered was selected for the further study. Immersion and electrochemical tests showed that the dense MgF2 coating would improve the corrosion resistance of Mg-Zn-Zr alloy. The corrosion current density (icorr) decreased from 2.10 μA·cm-2 to 0.05 μA·cm-2. The influence of HF treatment on the cytocompatibility was evaluated in vitro. There were significant differences in the cell number between the naked and coated samples after culturing for 3 and 5 days (p<0.05). All the results demonstrate that HF treatment is a promising approach to improve the corrosion resistance and in vitro biocompatibility of Mg-Zn-Zr alloy used as intravascular stents.
