Title: Reinforced matrices for pin-amalgam restorations reduce microleakage. Author: Harrington WG, Moon PC, Crockett WD, Shepard FE. Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1979 Jun; 41(6):622-4. PubMed ID: 374719. Abstract: The considerable decrease in microkeakage in the compound-reinforced restorations may be due to the tighter fit of the matrix band at the gingival wall of the preparation, which allows better condensation and marginal sealing of the restoration. The compound prevents lateral migration of the band during condensation pressures.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
