title: [Fluoridated amalgams. Bibliographic review].
abstract: A review on fluoride containing amalgam is reported in this paper. The inhibitory effects of fluoride on dental caries are well known for many years. Thus, the incorporation of fluoride to an amalgam restoration prevents the occurrence of marginal caries. Other physical properties of fluoride amalgams such as compressive strength, dimensional changes, creep and corrosion are also reviewed in this paper.
