Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Undertriturated alloy has a dry,crumbly appearance and sets too quickly.It produces a weaker restoration because the components have not totally mixed,leaving a higher level of unreacted mercury and alloy particles.On the other hand,overtriturated alloy is too wet.It also results in an amalgam that sets too quickly because of the heat produced by prolonged mixing.It results in a weaker restoration that will corrode more readily,because it forms too many reaction products.Properly triturated alloy has a satin appearance and produces the desired physical properties.
