Abstract
Penetration of amalgam elements into dentin was investigated by electron probe microanalysis of human and dog teeth. Penetration was observed with tin and zinc, but not with mercury or silver; it was observed only in the softened dentin. The elements were accumulated mainly in the second decalcified layer of dentin.Keywords
