[A finely dispersed copper alloy for amalgams--a prospective filling material in pediatric dentistry. II. Clinical research]

The authors assess clinical efficacy and possibility of using finely dispersed copper alloy for CMTA amalgam in dentistry. They compare their results with the data of clinical trials of tableted cooper amalgam TMAC-01 which is commercially manufactured at present. CMTA cooper amalgam was found preferable to TMAC-01 amalgam at all stages of carious process compensation in children due to its better strength, increased color stability, and corrosion resistance. This material is recommended for pedodontics for filling carious cavities of the first, second, and fifth class in deciduous molars.
