title: A method for the measurement of dimensional change of dental amalgam.
abstract: A dimensional change occurs during the setting of a dental amalgam. A measurement circuit, which makes it possible to register these changes, is introduced. To this purpose strain gages were used. The registration instrument is tested by comparing different dental amalgam products.
