[Effect of manifacturing technology on the resistance to corrosion of amalgam fillings and speed of mercury emission].
The study investigates the influence of the various manufacturing technological alternatives of a given alloy on the corrosion properties, as well as it evaluates the quantity of mercury release from the amalgam filling having the same alloy. The resistance of dental amalgams to corrosion is the function of their precious metal (mercury and silver) content. The release speed of the mercury depends on the original condition of the alloy. The highest values were given for filing amalgam. When investigating the composition of amalgam mainly in spherical form, a significant decrease could be here determined.
