Only recently has laser welding been applied to dental technology, primarily as an alternative to soldering. This article addresses how the laser is used for welding, the effect welding has on metals as the energy is converted into heat and reacts with the alloy's surface and the practicality of laser welding in the dental laboratory. A step-by-step procedure for accomplishing laser-welded connections in a fixed partial denture is included. A laser-welded clasp repair using wrought wire and the addition of custom cast parts welded to an existing removable partial denture framework on the master model are also shown.
直到最近，激光焊接才应用于牙科技术，主要作为焊接的一种替代方法。本文探讨了激光如何用于焊接、当能量转化为热量并与合金表面发生反应时焊接对金属的影响以及激光焊接在牙科实验室中的实用性。文中还包括了在固定局部义齿中完成激光焊接连接的分步程序。此外，还展示了使用锻造钢丝进行激光焊接卡环修复以及在主模型上把定制铸造部件焊接到现有的可摘局部义齿框架上的方法。
