    Start with Gamma + eutectic + mercury to yield Gamma + gamma 1 + gamma 2 + eutectic.

    To get rid of gamma 2, use solid state reaction which is gamma 2 + eutectic yields gamma 1 + eta.

    Small electrical current created from the contact of two dissimilar metals.
  48. 1. Which phase is the strongest?
    2. Which phase is most creep resistance?
    3. Which phase is most corrosion resistance?

    2. What kind of particles does sphereical have? Does it require more or less mercury to wet?

    • 2. Smooth. Less
  50. 1. What does under-mixed amalgam look like and what're the disadvantages?
    2. What does over-rmixed amalgam look like and what're the disadvantages?
    • 1. Dry and crumbly. It increases creep and decreases tensile and compressive strength
    • 2. Warm with a dull surface. It increases setting time and decreases creep and contraction .
  51. What would be the effect of prolonged condensation on amalgam?
    It will crack the forming matrix.
  52. Which root is the straighest in the maxillary molars?
    Distobuccal
  53. Are facial embrasures bigger than lingual embrasures?
    What's the exception?
    No. Facial embrasures are smaller than lingual embrasures. The Maxillary 1st molar is the exception.
  54. What is resistance form? Example?
    Shape given to prep to prevent the fracture of tooth or restoration. Example: rounding of corners.
  55. What is retention form? Example?
    Shape of the cavity to prevent restorative material from falling out i.e. grooves, undercuts, truncation, pins, dovetails etc.
  56. What is convenience form?
    Shape of cavity that allows vision, access and ease of instrumentation and insertion of restorative material.
