[Types of changes in laboratory technics used in prosthetic technology].

Because of the phenomena which were noticed in clinical and laboratory work of permanent stomatological metallographical and other researches of the consequences of free changed conditions in melting and cooling phase of dental alloy auropal were carried out. Modality of the changes during melting of this alloy in dental laboratory were systematically chosen according to noticed phenomena in praxis. Main objective was to metallographicly determine these phenomena during the process.
