Amalgam
• An alloy of mercury with another metal.
![Page 4: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Why Amalgam?
• Inexpensive• Ease of use• Proven track record
– >100 years• Familiarity• Resin-free
– less allergies than composite

Constituents in Amalgam• Basic
– Silver– Tin– Copper– Mercury
• Other– Zinc– Indium– Palladium

Basic Constituents
• Silver (Ag)– increases strength– increases expansion
• Tin (Sn)– decreases expansion– decreased strength– increases setting time

Basic Constituents• Copper (Cu)
– ties up tin• reducing gamma-2 formation
– increases strength– reduces tarnish and corrosion– reduces creep
• reduces marginal deterioration

Basic Constituents• Mercury (Hg)
– activates reaction– only pure metal that is liquid
at room temperature– spherical alloys
• require less mercury– smaller surface area easier to wet
» 40 to 45% Hg
– admixed alloys• require more mercury
– lathe-cut particles more difficult to wet» 45 to 50% Hg

Other Constituents• Zinc (Zn)
– used in manufacturing• decreases oxidation of other elements
– sacrificial anode
– provides better clinical performance• less marginal breakdown
– Osborne JW Am J Dent 1992
– causes delayed expansion with low Cu alloys• if contaminated with moisture during condensation
– Phillips RW JADA 1954

Naghman Zuberi 10
Other Constituents• Indium (In)
– decreases surface tension• reduces amount of mercury necessary• reduces emitted mercury vapor
– reduces creep and marginal breakdown– increases strength– must be used in admixed alloys– example
• Indisperse (Indisperse Distributing Company)– 5% indium

Basic Composition• A silver-mercury matrix containing filler
particles of silver-tin• Filler (bricks)
– Ag3Sn called gamma• can be in various shapes
– irregular (lathe-cut), spherical,or a combination
• Matrix– Ag2Hg3 called gamma 1
• cement– Sn8Hg called gamma 2
• voids

Classifications• Based on copper content• Based on particle shape• Based on method of adding
copper
![Page 24: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 24
Copper Content
• Low-copper alloys– 4 to 6% Cu
• High-copper alloys– thought that 6% Cu was maximum amount
• due to fear of excessive corrosion and expansion– Now contain 9 to 30% Cu
• at expense of Ag

Naghman Zuberi 31
Manufacturing Process• Lathe-cut alloys
– Ag & Sn melted together– alloy cooled
• phases solidify– heat treat
• 400 ºC for 8 hours– grind, then mill to 25 - 50 microns– heat treat to release stresses of grinding
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
![Page 32: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 32
Manufacturing Process
• Spherical alloys– melt alloy– atomize
• spheres form as particles cool– sizes range from 5 - 40 microns
• variety improves condensability
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003

Naghman Zuberi 33
Material-Related Variables
• Dimensional change• Strength• Corrosion• Creep
![Page 34: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 34
Dimensional Change• Most high-copper amalgams undergo a
net contraction• Contraction leaves marginal gap
– initial leakage• post-operative sensitivity
– reduced with corrosion over time
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
![Page 35: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 35
Dimensional Change• Net contraction
– type of alloy• spherical alloys have more
contraction– less mercury
– condensation technique• greater condensation = higher contraction
– trituration time• overtrituration causes higher contraction
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
![Page 36: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 36
Strength• Develops slowly
– 1 hr: 40 to 60% of maximum– 24 hrs: 90% of maximum
• Spherical alloys strengthen faster– require less mercury
• Higher compressive vs. tensile strength• Weak in thin sections
– unsupported edges fracture
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
![Page 37: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 37
Corrosion• Reduces strength• Seals margins
– low copper• 6 months
– SnO2, SnCl– gamma-2 phase
– high copper• 6 - 24 months
– SnO2 , SnCl, CuCl– eta-phase (Cu6Sn5)

Naghman Zuberi 38
Creep• Slow deformation of amalgam placed under
a constant load– load less than that necessary to produce
fracture• Gamma 2 dramatically affects creep rate
– slow strain rates produces plastic deformation• allows gamma-1 grains to slide
• Correlates with marginal breakdown
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
![Page 39: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 39
Creep• High-copper amalgams have creep
resistance– prevention of gamma-2 phase
• requires >12% Cu total– single composition spherical
• eta (Cu6Sn5) embedded in gamma-1 grains– interlock
– admixture• eta (Cu6Sn5) around Ag-Cu particles
– improves bonding to gamma 1
![Page 40: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Dentist-Controlled Variables
• Manipulation– trituration– condensation– burnishing– polishing
![Page 41: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 41
Trituration• Mixing time
– refer to manufacturerrecommendations
• Click here for details
• Overtrituration– “hot” mix
• sticks to capsule– decreases working / setting time– slight increase in setting contraction
• Undertrituration– grainy, crumbly mix

Naghman Zuberi 42
Condensation• Forces
– lathe-cut alloys• small condensers• high force
– spherical alloys• large condensers• less sensitive to amount of force• vertical / lateral with vibratory motion
– admixture alloys• intermediate handling between lathe-cut and spherical
![Page 43: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 43
Burnishing
• Pre-carve– removes excess mercury– improves margin adaptation
• Post-carve– improves smoothness
• Combined– less leakage

Naghman Zuberi 44
Early Finishing
• After initial set– prophy cup with pumice– provides initial smoothness to restorations– recommended for spherical amalgams
![Page 45: Amalgam](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051518/55cf8fb6550346703b9f0ab3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Naghman Zuberi 45
Polishing
• Increased smoothness• Decreased plaque retention• Decreased corrosion• Clinically effective?
– no improvement in marginal integrity• Mayhew Oper Dent 1986• Collins J Dent 1992
