title: Marginal failure of amalgam class II restoration.
abstract: Analysis of stresses in a bicuspid with an amalgam Class II restoration was carried out with the finite element method. When stresses were known, creep in the margin of the restoration was calculated. If the buccal cusp was loaded, the maximum compressive stresses were found in the buccal part of the restoration.
