mercury produces a stronger alloy
Mercury - ✔✔Setting time is quicker 2.5 minutes

become asymptomatic and to make it last longer because it is not strong enough to withstand
normal wear for long periods

wear
-Tooth pain or sensitivity
-Fracture of the opposing tooth or restoration
- movement/shifting of a tooth or teeth due to orthodontic pressures of the prematurity
- widening of the periodontal ligament resulting in a loosening of the tooth
-Interferences in the harmonious movement of the TMJ and muscles of mastication
In general it should not or should be the goal of the operator to remove all marks from the new
restoration? - ✔✔Should not
Class 1 occlusion - ✔✔The normal biting relationship between the maxillary and mandibular
teeth also known as neutro-occlusion
