Abstract:
The microhardness of the amalgams Stabil B and Amalcap was determined and compared. Samples of the Stabil B amalgam were divided into three groups depending on the amount of mercury and mode of preparation. The experiment showed that Stabil B amalgam prepared in the proportion of 5 weight parts of filings and 6 parts of mercury had a final microhardness of 145.4 kG/m2, similar to that of Amalcap which was 155.1 kG/mm2. Stabil B amalgam prepared manually had a significantly lower microhardness which was 119.6 kG/mm2 for the 5:6 proportion and 103.9 kG/mm2 for the 5:7 proportion.
