Samples of dental gold casting alloys were subjected to a variety of analyses, including the electron probe and quantitative television microscope. Areas differing from the matrix in appearance and composition at the microscopic level were defined as "inclusions." Some of these areas appeared to be composed of metallic oxides, while others seemed to be pieces of embedded investment or polishing materials used in the conventional dental gold polishing technic. It was postulated that inhomogeneities such as these may contribute to the migration of metal ions into hard and soft oral tissues as reported by several workers. Modifications in polishing technic and improvements in the formulation of new alloys were suggested.
