  • Title: Effect of oxygen on the corrosion of dental amalgam.
    Author: Greener EH, Matsuda K.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1985 Mar; 12(2):123-33. PubMed ID: 3857318.
    Abstract:
    The anodic and cathodic polarization of five dental amalgams were determined as a function of oxygen concentration in Ringer's solution and artificial saliva. The results indicate an anodic polarization behaviour dependent on Cl ion concentration and a corrosion potential determined primarily by oxygen concentration. At high oxygen concentrations the corrosion rates of traditional and copper enriched amalgams were equivalent.
