title: [Amalgams. Traditional and modern].
abstract: The amalgam continues to be the most widely used material for durable restoration of decayed bicuspids and molars. After a discussion of this material's relative drawbacks, the author describes the restoration possibilities now offered by the advanced high-copper alloys available today. The latest developments involve both "conservative" preparations and extensive pre-prosthetic occlusal restorations.
