title: Dimensional change of dental amalgam and a suggested correlation between marginal integrity and creep.
abstract: Discussion of a possible correlation of marginal integrity and degree of creep resulting from relative resistance of amalgams to deformation caused by expansion is included in this study of the effect of phase changes on the dimensional stability of amalgams.
