1. Minimizing firing shrinkage of porcelain depends most on having a uniform particle size to ensure even fusion. 2. Chromium-cobalt-nickel partial denture clasps require a heavier cross section than gold clasps due to their higher modulus of elasticity. 3. The addition of platinum to dental gold alloys increases their strength, hardness, and melting point as well as corrosion resistance.
