[The dental soldering by means of high frequency induction heating (author's transl)].

The authors examined the methods of high frequency induction soldering, especially Loop-method, other than the gas flame soldering which was known generally. The details which was done are: (1) about the form of induction coil, and the relative places of the coil and restrative appliance, and some supplementary appliances of them. (2) about strength of soldered joints of Co-Cr wire using silver solder and Pd-solder, and observation on the corrosion of soldered-joints by the scanning electron-microscope. (3) about the comparison of the characteristics of Co-Cr wire by means of high-frequency induction heating and gas-flame one. (4) about the examples of soldering of porcelain crown-bridge and clasp wire attached on the dental cast, and possibility of soldering techniques of them on the dental cast. The authors found that the high frequency induction method was preeminent from the other method on the point of (a) the characteristic of heated wire, (b) the strength of soldered joints, (c) the easiness of operating of them, and (d) the possibility of soldering using the high-melting point of Pd-solder, and the soldering of them on the dental cast. Therefore we can enough respect the application on the dental area of this apparatus and this techniques of the high-frequency induction soldering.
