Abstract
When the gold inlay has been cast and separated from the sprue, it is cleaned thoroughly by scrubbing away all attached investment with a small hard brush, e.g. an old toothbrush. Then it may be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner for about 5 min to ensure complete removal of investment. The oxide layer is removed by boiling in a 50% solution of sulphuric acid in water, after which the inlay is ready for trimming and polishing.
