Abstract:
AIMS:Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are a standard restoration technique in dentistry, but toxicity of PFM in vivo has not been systematically evaluated. The present study evaluated the effects of various metal alloy shells of PFM crowns on the development of zebrafish embryos and larvae in order to determine the safety of these materials. MAIN METHODS:Gold palladium (Au-Pd), silver palladium (Ag-Pd), Nickel chromium (Ni-Cr), cobalt chromium (Co-Cr), titanium (Ti) alloy porcelain crowns were immersed in artificial saliva for 1, 4, and 7 weeks, and the leach solution was collected and used to treat zebrafish embryos at 4-144 h PFM. Toxicity was assessed based on mortality, spontaneous movement, heart rate, hatchability, malformation, and swimming behavior. KEY FINDINGS:The 1-week leachates of the five PFMs were not toxic to zebrafish. The rates of mortality and malformation of zebrafish in the Ni-Cr alloy group were increased whereas spontaneous movement, heart rate, and swimming behavior were decreased for 4- and 7-week leachates. SIGNIFICANCE:Among metal substrates commonly used in dental work, Ni-Cr alloy was most toxic, followed by Co-Cr and Ag-Pd alloys. Ti and Au-Pd alloys showed good biocompatibility and are therefore the most suitable materials for clinical applications.
