title: A clinical study of adhesive amalgam in pediatric dental practice.
abstract: This clinical study and 3-year follow-up evaluated the efficacy of adhesive amalgam restorations for pediatric dental practice. The original goal of the study was to determine when bonding of amalgam restorations should be performed. After the initial set of study restorations were placed, it appeared that the bonding should always be performed and that the study should concentrate on the modes of restoration failure.
