title: Influence of certain manipulative variables on the static creep of amalgam.
abstract: The effects of trituration time on the creep of eight commercial dental amalgams was determined. The data show that trituration time does influence the creep of amalgam, but its magnitude varies from one alloy to another. The condensing procedure also influences creep.
