โฆ Synopsis
The pressure variat.ions of the elastic constants of the con~tit~uerit phases of dental amalgam (r-Ag,Sn, rl-Ag2Tโฌgs, and rz-HgSri,. 8) were investigated in the 0-50 kilobar range. The velocit#ies of propagation of longit,udiiial and transverse ultrasonic waves were measured using an ult>rasonic interferometer and a solid media pressure apparatus. Colnput,er analysis yields the pressure dependence of the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio; atmospheric pressure values are obtained by back extrapolat,ion from the high pressure measurements. The values of these elastic constants are relat,ed to the crystallographic structures of the individual alloys. The possibility of high pressure first order polymorphic transitions in and -ye is also discussed.

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
The integrated intensities of certain reflections of the 7 , yl, and y2 phase have been determined as a function of the mercury content of 6 amalgams after annealing for 20 hr at 37ยฐC. This dependency could be described satisfactorily by means of the regression model: Here I , is the integrated pea
## Abstract Equipment is described which enables the determination of the creep behavior of small specimens of dental amalgam under tensile stresses. The apparatus has been used to measure the creep strain of both low and high copper dental amalgams at 34ยฐC, in the stress range 9.4 to 38.8 MNm^โ2^,
## 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.
