| Notes: |
The anodic and cathodic polarization of five dental amalgams were determined as a function of oxygen concentration in Ringer's solution and artificial saliva. The results indicate an anodic polarization behaviour dependent on Cl ion concentration and a corrosion potential determined primarily by oxygen concentration. At high oxygen concentrations the corrosion rates of traditional and copper enriched amalgams were equivalent.
