Amalgam restoration completion. Objectives, methods and armamentarium.

The success of an amalgam restoration is multifactorial. Attention must be paid to the manipulation and condensation of the alloy, the final contouring, and the finishing procedures. A discussion of current amalgam alloy, including the goals and sequence of the restorative procedure, are presented with emphasis on the instruments and methods.

Examination of tooth pulp following laser beam irradiation.

An attempt was made to determine the maximum amount of laser energy which could be utilized without impairing pulpal vitality. Forty rat molar teeth were irradiated in vivo; the Sharplan CO2 laser modality, focused to a 0.2-mm-diameter spot size was used. The energy output was varied by changing the power and/or the pulse duration. Subsequent histological examination of the irradiated teeth showed that the duration of exposure was more significant than the power. A pulse of 0.2 sec/10 W appears to be the safety limit in preserving pulpal vitality.
