title: Effects of two resin adhesives on mechanical properties of set amalgam.
abstract: Two hundred amalgam (Dispersalloy) cylinders, 3 mm high x 4 mm wide, were tested to determine the compressive and diametral tensile strength of amalgam treated with 1 and 3 mixed drops of Amalgambond resin and 1:1 and 3:3 drops of resin powder paste of Panavia Ex resin. Twenty samples of each group, including a control group, were tested with a 1 cm diameter testing rod in an Instron universal testing machine at 0.5 mm/minute speed. All samples tested for compressive strength were not statistically different from one another (ANOVA). ANOVA and Tukey HSD test indicated no significant difference in diametral tension between the Amalgam and Amalgambond 1X materials, but significant differences were demonstrated with the Amalgambond 3X and Panavia 1X and 3X materials.
