ABSTRACT
Introduction: the choice of the restorative material
is critical for the restoration of primary teeth. Traditionally,
stainless-steel crowns have been used
in teeth with extensive crown destruction or after
pulp treatment; however amalgam can be used too.
There are studies that have measured the clinical
success of these materials; however, there are no reports
that have measured and compared the physical
properties between them.
Aim: evaluate the
micro-hardness of dental amalgam and stainless
steel crown.
Method and materials: test objects of
SDI amalgam type GS80 (15) and 3M stainless-steel
crown (15) were made in two different times, some
were stored for 4 years and the others for 3 days
at 100% relative humidity. Two indentations were
made to each test object with the Micromet 2001
microdurometer to determine the micro-hardness.
The results obtained were evaluated by the ANOVA
test (p≤0.05).
Results: the average of the microhardness
stainless steel crown was significantly
higher than the average of the amalgam (p=0.000).
The micro-hardness of the amalgam increases significantly
with the storage time (p=0.000).
Conclusions:
the stainless-steel crown was the material
with the highest micro-hardness. The micro-hardness
values of the amalgam are time-dependent.
