Q

What changes have been made to modern amalgam to improve it

A

Copper has been added to reduce the gamma 2 phase because that has poor strength and abrasion resistance, copper reacts with tin to reduce availability for that phase

Zinc is also no longer added as it reacted with the water leading to a poor marginal seal

Q

What two symtoms can come from zinc being in amalgam , and why does this happen

A

Zinc interacts with salvia and blood and forms bubbles oh H2 within amalgam and this causes a build up of pressure which causes expansion

  • this can either cause pulpal pain for the paitent
  • or can cause the restoration to sit high
