Gold

Gold is a bright yellow, highly malleable metal. In dentistry, pure gold is sometimes used to make fillings. Gold alloys are widely used to make crowns, inlays and bridges, either alone or coated externally with a substance that matches the color of the teeth. Currently, gold alloys are very rarely used for the manufacture of the metal base of partially removable dentures, since alloys of cobalt and chromium have begun to be used instead.

In pharmacology, gold is any gold compound used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. For example, sodium aurothiomalate (Myocrisin) is prescribed to patients by intramuscular injection. Possible side effects include: ulceration of the oral mucosa, itching, blood disorders, allergic skin reactions, inflammation of the kidneys and colon. Auranofin is a gold compound that is prescribed to patients for oral administration.

The gold metal has been known to mankind since ancient times, but the first gold jewelry was made only about six thousand years ago. A description of the process of obtaining red gold is found in written sources of Ancient Egypt. In addition, objects and jewelry made from this precious metal were discovered in the burials of the pharaohs. One of its most significant applications today is dentistry, as well as medicine. Also, the noble metal finds its application in other areas.

This metal found its first medical use among alchemists in the seventeenth century. During their experiments, scientists discovered that gold removes heavy metals from the body. Due to its properties, it bound arsenic and mercury, that is, it contributed to their removal from the blood.

Gold is a moderately common element, but it is used more often than we realize. A historical fact testifying to the enormous popularity of yellow metal in ancient times are coins and amulets found by archaeologists. The first image of a gold coin appeared on the territory of Ancient Sumer (in the Eastern part of Mesopotamia); it was a large coin (weighed about 345 grams), in shape it resembled two connected plates. It was not at all the classic “Catherine icons” that were made from it.

Gold is a metal that has many uses in various areas of life. One of the most famous and common uses of gold is dentistry. People use gold to make fillings to replace damaged teeth. In addition, gold is often used to make other types of dentures.

However, in addition to dentistry

Gold is one of the most precious metals that has been used since ancient times. Its natural feature is that it is relatively rare on earth. Thus, gold is a highly valued metal whose value regularly increases.

In the dental field, pure gold is used to create fillings, and alloys of this metal are mainly used as a material for making dentures. Due to their physical and chemical properties, gold and its alloys exhibit durability and strength that make them a good choice for dental purposes. In addition, many studies have shown that gold medicinal products may provide more benefits than side effects. However, it is important to consult before using them.
