Question

The physical process of mixing a dental amalgam alloy and mercury is call The term used to describe the packing of the amalgam alloy into the prepared tooth cavity is

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Trituration 2. Condensation

Explanation:

The trituration is the method used to process the materials. It involves the homogeneous mixing of the components thoroughly. This process involves the reduction in size of the material. For example, a dental amalgam is created by combining the mercury and alloy. The product of this process generates a plastic mass. This plastic mass is forced into the prepared cavity by the process of condensation.
