A variety of dental alloys were submitted to adsorption experiments with human saliva. FT­ -IR and SIMS were used to analyze the surface films. IEF compared the protein patterns from surface extracts and salivas used in protein adsorptions to those from unexposed saliva controls. Results support both selective and nonselective adsorption processes. The SIMS spectrum showed v a r i a b i l i t i e s in elemental intensities between substrates of different compositions, while IEF patterns of surface extracts from eleven different compositions of powder a l l appeared to contain the same acidic protein bands. FT-IR spectrum showed v a r i a b i l i t i e s in the protein to carbohydrate intensity ratios at different sites on the same alloy surface, and suggested that other factors besides substrate material may be important in protein adsorption.
