Clinical Relevance After placement, amalgam restorations exhibit a gap between the restoration and tooth structure, which fills with corrosion products during time in clinical service. To reduce the time necessary to fill this gap, an amalgam that exhibits a small initial gap shortly after setting and an amalgam that contains zinc is recommended.
