Abstract

The effect of γ₁ and γ₂ on the creep deformation of dental amalgams has been investigated. It has been shown that the creep of a conventional amalgam is not dependent on γ₁ as was previously reported. Rather it is strongly influenced by γ₂ and its volume fraction. It has been speculated that Sn‐rich grain boundaries also enhance creep by facilitating grain boundary sliding. The reported correlation between creep and marginal fracture has been explained in terms of this dependence of creep on corrosionprone Sn‐rich microstructural constituents of amalgams.
