Determining amalgam marginal quality: effect of occlusal surface condition



PW Woods, VA Marker, TW McKinney, BH Miller, and T Okabe
Department of Biomaterials Science, Baylor College of Dentistry, Dallas 75246-2098.

This investigation evaluated the effect of four different finishing techniques on the durability of dental amalgam restorations as determined by the marginal breakdown. Burnishing immediately before carving or as part of the condensation process seems to improve the carving characteristics of the amalgam.
