title: Creep versus microstructure of gamma2-containing amalgams.
abstract: An analysis of the relationship between creep and microstructural characteristics of several gamma2-containing amalgams showed the grain size of the Ag-Hg phase (gamma1) to be a predominant factor influencing creep. When gamma1 grain size is increased, creep is reduced.
