  Copper, Inorganic mercury, Nickel, Silver, Tin 

  Panel B - Non-noble dental crowns & bridges
  Aluminium, Beryllium, Copper, Cobalt, Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Niobium, Tantalum, Tungsten

  Panel C - Noble or gold dental crowns & bridges
  Copper, Gallium, Gold, Indium, Iridium, Palladium, Platinum, Ruthenium, Silver, Tin 

  Panel D - Cobalt Chrome / Vitallium / Stainless steel
  Chromium, Cobalt, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Tungsten

  Panel E - Pure titanium / Nitinol / Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V
  Aluminum, Nickel, Titanium dioxide, Titanium sulphate, Vanadium

  Panel F - Titanium-based alloys (extended) 
  Aluminium, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Niobium, Nickel, Tantalum, Tin, Titanium Dioxide, Titanium Sulphate, Vanadium, Zirconium, Zirconia* 

  Panel G - Zirconium-based alloys (orthopedic use) 
  Chromium, Niobium, Tin, Zirconium, Zirconia*

  Panel H - Surgical/orthopedic panel
