A predictive model for the clinical marginal fracture of amalgam.
The relationship of clinical marginal fracture to creep and zinc content of amalgam alloys was examined. Using multiple regression analysis, a predictive equation was found which produced an excellent fit to the experimental data (R2 = .944).
