title: Tissue reaction to dispersion alloy amalgam.
abstract: Dental amalgam implanted in rat connective tissue is injurious for the first 16 days. At 32 days, the implanted amalgam is tolerated. The increased copper content of Dispersalloy did not evoke a more serious response of the connective tissue than Fine Cut or Spheraloy amalgam.
