Physical properties of dental silver-tin amalgams with high and low copper contents
ML Malhotra
and
K Asgar
Newly developed amalgams such as Tytin, Sybraloy, and Dispersalloy had low static creep, high compressive strength, and similar values for both diametral tensile strength and dimensional change in comparison with conventional amalgams such as Kerr Spheraloy, Caulk Spherical, Shofu Spherical, and Caulk 20th Century Micro Cut. The data for physical properties were evaluated statistically, and the amalgams were ranked according to the numerical position assigned to each property.
