Since ancient Eygypt, various dental materials were used for lost teeth including gold. The key point of this materials were nontoxic to human body. Since early of 1990's, dental implant was done for recovery of maxillofacial defects. From middle of 1970's, osseointergation concept of implant was introduced and performed in dental field. Biocompatibility of titanium showed good effect for osseointergration but had some problems (Galvance current and toxic corrosion) with suprastructures such as gold crowns. This study was performed to make safe dental implants which have reduced Galvanic currents and corrosion. 3 kind of dental casting gold alloys (different Gold contents, 1㎝×1㎝×0.1㎝ plates.) were used as experimental group, while Titanium were used as control group. Normal human osteoblasts(NHOsts)were cultured during 1-4weeks for histologic study. For analysing the calcium(Ca), Phosphorus(P) and alkaline phosphatase(ALP), NHosts were cultred during 2-23days. After experiments, histologic finding were observed by LSM and SEM. Ca, P, ALP concentration by automatic biochemical analyzer were analyzed by ANOVA test and linear regression method. The results were as follows. Biocompatibility of dental casting gold alloys were similar to titianium alloys histolgically. Biochemical analysis of dental casting gold alloys had no significant difference to titianium alloy except AIGIS-Fine. We could conclude that biocompatibility of dental casting gold alloys with high contents of gold were superior to that of low contents and alloys with high contents of gold had no significant difference from titanium on NHost culture. Gold dental implant might be better than titanium implant due to similar biocompatibility and no galvanic currency.
