What does dynamic creep refer to in dental amalgam?

Show Answers

Ongoing chemical reaction between silver-tin alloy and mercury throughout the restoration's lifespanDistortion of the hardened amalgam under functional stressThe process in which mercury coats the alloy particlesThe flow of amalgam material during the packing procedure

Explanation

Dynamic creep is defined as the deformation or distortion of the set amalgam when subjected to functional forces. It is different from the ongoing chemical reactions between alloy and mercury, the wetting process, or the manipulation of amalgam during packing.
