Under triturated amalgam has a mushy grainy feel and is difficult to properly condense, it may also appear soupy
Properly tritura

Which of the following elements is used in the highest amount in an amalgam restoration?
A

B
. Copper
C
. Silver
D
. Mercury
E
. Aluminum

D
. Mercury
Dental amalgam is comprised of mercury and amalgam alloy approx. 50% each. It was mention that silver (AG) 65% alloy, but that is 65% of the 50% of the alloy component of the dental amalgam. This reasoning is also true for copper and tin. Alum

Amalgam is strongest in ______________ strength after it has set.
A
. Shear
B
. Tensile
C
. Compressive
D
. Bending

C
. Compressive
Amalgam has a high compressive strength, but tensile and shear strengths are comparatively low. Bending strength is a combination of tensile and compression strengths and is low as well.

A
. Silver and Tin
B
. Silver and Mercury
C
. Tin and Mercury
D
. Tin and Tin

F
. A,B, and D
G
. A,

F
. A, B, and D
An amalgam restoration that has been finished and polished reduces the ability for plaque to adhere, resists tarnish and corrosion and is more likely to have continuous margins with tooth structure. Voids in the restoration are the result

In the low-copper or traditional amalgam reaction, tin reacts with mercury. In the high-copper amalgam reaction, tin reacts with:
A

As the restoration increase in size, internal stresses decrease, as does the life expectancy.
A
. The first statement is true, the second statement is fals

A
. The first statement is true, the second statement is false.
As the restoration increases in size, the internal stresses INCREASE and the life expectancy DECREASES.

Ashley was condensing an amalgam during lab ad she noticed that the triturated amalgam had a softer, "mushy" feel. She most likely used what type of alloy in the mixed amalgam?
A

B
. Lathe-Cut
C
. Admixed
D
. Blended

A
. Spherical
Lathe cut alloy particles require more force during condensation because these particles are rough and do not slide past each other easily
Blended or admixed alloy particles would have an in between consisentcy or feel that of spherical or l
