A model describing the elastic behavior of dental amalgam as a composite material has been developed using elastic theory for quasi-homogeneous, quasiisotropic systems. The elastic constants of the composite amalgam can be computed using Voigt-Reuss and Hashin-Shtrikman methods if the relative volum

β¦ Synopsis
At high frequencies, electrochemical impedance behavior for corroding dental amalgams cannot be interpreted in terms of a simple Randles equivalent circuit. This may often be ascribed to the imperfect cell geometry resulting in a nonuniform current distribution. However, the insertion of a constant phase element (CPE) in the nonfaradaic branch of the equivalent circuit offers a new scope for interpretation as the circuit provides an m-parameter corresponding to the degree of distortion. The decrease of m as a function of time was explained by a mathematical model reflecting an increasing number of pores. Moreover, that same model allows a better understanding of the passivating effect of NaHCO, and of the differences between conventional and Cu-rich dental amalgams.

Previous studies have shown preferential corrosion of the q'(Cu-Sn) phase in highcopper dental amalgam both in vifro and in vivo, while samples of pure 7' have shown high corrosion resistance. To clarify this contradiction, samples of pure q' crystals mixed with other phases were prepared and tested
## Abstract The rotating ringβdisk electrode technique has been applied to the study of anodic dissolution of dental amalgam in a simulated saline solution. The electroactive domains of the silver, tin, and mercury couples (the main constituents of the amalgam) were determined from currentβpotenti
## Abstract A dimensional change occurs during the setting of a dental amalgam. A measurement circuit, which makes it possible to register these changes, is introduced. To this purpose strain gages were used. The registration instrument is tested by comparing different dental amalgam products.
