Abstract

Abstract In a clinical evaluation of marginal deterioration, 475 amalgram restorations were equally distributed in a 6 × 4 × 2 × 3 factorial design, based on alloy, operator, tooth, and number of restored surfaces. All factors except the last had a statistically significant effect after 6, 12 and 18 months. There were no consistent two‐way interactions over time.
