  • Title: In vivo and in vitro corrosion products of dental amalgam.
    Author: Sarkar NK, Marshall GW, Moser JB, Greener EH.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1975; 54(5):1031-8. PubMed ID: 1058854.
    Abstract:
    Corrosion products of amalgam produced in Ringer's solution were compared with products formed in vivo using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, and potentiostatic anodic polarization. The corrosion products in an old amalgam were probably a mixture of tin-oxide and tin oxychloride. In vitro corrosion of fresh amalgam resulted in the buildup of similar products.
