[Studies of the edge-strength of some silver-zinc amalgams Part I: Creep value (author's transl)].
From a compilation of all investigative results it is apparent that there are only minor differences in edge-strength between the AP preparations and VH 67 grade. Showing the best values within this particular group is the AP 3 grade. Its use as a filling material may be expected to yield the best results as regards durability. In contrast, the results obtainded for the VH 50 grade material cannot be regarded as satisfying the requirements of a dental amalgam. A marked tendency toward creeping and high rates of corrosion result in the edge-strength of this material being reduced to an unacceptable level.
