Creep of dental amalgam as a function of heat treatment
Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research
|November 1, 1975
Abstract:
The creep of dental amalgam was measured as a function of heat treatment of the amalgam. The treatment significantly reduced the creep rate. The beta 1 (Ag-Hg) phase was detected in the heat-treated amalgam by X-ray diffraction and metallographic methods, and it appeared that the reduction in creep rate was due to the gamma 1 leads to beta 1 transformation.
