Marginal failure of amalgam class II restoration
T. Derand
Analysis of stresses in a bicuspid with an amalgam Class II restoration was
carried out with the finite element method. When stresses were known, creep
in the margin of the restoration was calculated. If the buccal cusp was
loaded, the maximum compressive stresses were found in the buccal part of
the restoration.
