Why is gold often used in dental fillings?
Hello, Of course gold is still used in dentistry. Mainly crowns, inlays, onlays and fillings are made of gold. This material is strong but not always looks aesthetic. Nowadays inlays, overlays and fillings are rather made of porcelain or composite. The colour is the same that the colour of your own tooth, so dental or prosthetic intervention is invisible. As it comes to the durability, gold is not the hardest material. Much better is tytanium. That is why dental implants are made of tytanium, not made of gold. Sometimes gold is also used to make ornaments on teeth, like so called grills or overlays. Kamila, Medical Travel
