Dental amalgam - relation between microstructure, corrosion and mercury release JOSKA, L., BYSTRIANSKY, J. vol. 41 (2003), no. 3, pp. 167 - 176
Abstract The study was aimed at evaluating the effect of the composition and structure of dental amalgams on their corrosion behaviour and mercury release. A group of materials currently available on the market was chosen for the measurements. On the basis of results it is possible to conclude that the composition of the alloy influences both the phase structure and the corrosion properties of the resulting material. The technology of the alloy powder preparation does not have significant influence on the corrosion behaviour of the resulting material, but it affects the rate of mercury release.
