Abstract
The patterns of mercury vapor emission from carved, burnished, and polished surfaces made from four commonly used dental amalgam alloys were determined with the use of a selenium sulfide detection method. Mercury vapor was emitted more intensely from the marginal region; carved and burnished surfaces emitted the same amount. There was a difference in the amounts emitted from the different alloys tested.Keywords
