Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate cytotoxicity of 10 commercial dental alloy. Agar diffusion method was used for
cytotoxicity evaluation method. Agar diffusion test was followed ISO 10993-5:1999(E). Total 10 commercial dental alloy was
assessed. 7 porcelain fused to metal gold alloy, 1 class II gold alloy, 1 class III gold alloy, and 1 silver alloy for soldering
were used as test group. The result of this study shows that all study group didnʼt represent any cytotoxicity. This result
