Electralloy is an alloy of electrolytic gold and calcium, typically with a calcium content of 0.1-0.5%. The addition of calcium creates a dispersion-hardened material that is stronger than pure gold. This property makes it suitable for use in restorations requiring increased hardness and wear resistance, such as inlays and onlays.

Brown tumors are benign bone lesions that result from the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone tissue in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Increased PTH causes bone resorption by stimulating osteoclastic activity. Hyperparathyroidism is associated with increased PTH levels and hypercalcemia.
