Bonded amalgam restorations: current research and clinical procedure.
This paper reviews the history of amalgam bonding; compares the results of recent clinical studies to laboratory results that report reduced microleakage, increased retention, inhibition of secondary caries, reinforcement of tooth structure, and reduced cuspal deflection; discusses conservative preparation guidelines; and presents a step-by-step clinical procedure.
