(metallic) gold is inert to all chemicals it encounters inside the body.<br />

• In modern times, injectable gold has been proven to help to reduce the pain and swelling of<br />

rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis.<br />

• Gold alloys are used in restorative dentistry, especially in tooth restorations, such as crowns and<br />
