alloy

, what is the composition of alloy - Answer 3:1 of alloy is Ag:Sn (silver:tin).
why do we want high copper in amalgam - Answer High copper alloys (12-13%) allow for
strength with correct amount corrosion.
why is there zinc in amalgam - Answer Zinc allows for high polishing/burnishing, which
is why it is used in many alloys.
what is the compressive strength of amalgam - Answer between the compressive
strength of enamel and dentin.
what was not a suitable replacement for mercury - Answer Gallium
when do you use dentin desensitizer - Answer placed in prep before amalgam
condensation (it closes tubules) - also able to use it before composite
when you condense amalgam what size condenser do you start with? - Answer small to
large
why do we use a moist cotton roll when condensing amalgam - Answer proper marginal
adaptation (wipe it towards the margins)
