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.
