Which gamma phase amalgam yields the best result?

  1. Gamma 1

  2. Gamma 2

  3. Gamma 3

  4. Beta

The correct answer is: Gamma 1

The best result in terms of what? It is difficult to determine the best gamma phase amalgam without specifying the desired outcome. However, out of the given options, Gamma 1 would be the most commonly used and produces good results for dental restorations due to its strength and low solubility in oral fluids. Gamma 2 is less commonly used due to its lower strength and higher solubility. Gamma 3 is a newer entry in dental materials and its long-term performance is still being studied. Beta is not a gamma phase amalgam and does not produce satisfactory results for dental restorations.
