  • Title: Galvanic currents between dental alloys in vitro.
    Author: Arvidson K, Johansson EG.
    Journal: Scand J Dent Res; 1985 Oct; 93(5):467-73. PubMed ID: 3864220.
    Abstract:
    The galvanic current densities between gold, amalgam and cobalt-chromium, three different classes of dental alloys, were determined in vitro in artificial saliva kept at 35 degrees C. The maximum current density of 200 microA/dm2 was obtained between the conventional amalgam and a type III gold alloy. Galvanic currents of lesser magnitude could also be measured between amalgams high in copper and the other alloys. No measurable current densities were obtained between gold alloys and between gold and cobalt-chromium alloy with the exception of a casting and a solder gold alloy commonly used in combination.
