The corrosion susceptibility of a selection of amalgams used in dentistry has been examined with the electrochemical impedance method. The results are compared with data derived from cyclic voltammetry performed with these materials before. Most examined materials including a conventional amalgam show similar corrosion resistance; however, only one product shows a significantly higher corrosion resistance.
