Over-trituration of silver alloy and mercury_______________?
Correct answer: B. Increases the strength of lathe cut alloy but reduces the strength of spherical alloy amalgam
- A. Reduces contraction
- B. Increases the strength of lathe cut alloy but reduces the strength of spherical alloy amalgam
- C. Decreases creep
- D. Gives al dull and crumbly amalgam
Explanation
Over-trituration affects alloy types differently: it can increase the strength of lathe-cut amalgam but may reduce the strength of spherical-particle amalgam by producing excessive reaction and contraction. A dull, crumbly mix is more typical of under-trituration.
