title: Comparative evaluation of marginal leakage of different types of silver amalgam alloys in vitro--a microfluoroscopic study.
abstract: A study was carried out in vitro to evaluate the amount of microleakage using seven different Silver amalgam alloy using Fluorescein dye. Among the high copper alloy used in this study, the admixed alloy showed least marginal leakage followed by the high copper lathecut alloy and the high copper spherical alloy. It was also observed that the marginal penetration of the conventional alloy are much more than the high copper alloy.
