Db. Mahler et al., ONE-YEAR CLINICAL-EVALUATION OF BONDED AMALGAM RESTORATIONS, The Journal of the American Dental Association, 127(3), 1996, pp. 345-349
Using one selected amalgam bonding agent, the authors evaluated bonded
and unbonded restorations in clinical service. Based on postoperative
sensitivity one to two weeks after placement and marginal fracture at
one year, no difference was found between the bonded and unbonded res
torations. Furthermore, some technical difficulties were experienced w
ith use of the bonding agent.
