Abstract / Excerpt:

“Clinical factors affecting residual mercury and marginal adaptations of amalgam restorations in a private practice environment were investigated. Findings, converted to ridit values, indicated that influencing factors are the training level of the dental assistants, type of amalgamator, accuracy of the timing device, and method of condensation.”
