The influence of finishing and size of the restoration on the margin performance of 286 Class II restorations using five amalgam alloys (Aristaloy, Dispersalloy, Oraloy, Sybraloy, and Tytin) was evaluated at 30 mo. When size of the restoration was considered, Dispersalloy displayed the best margin performance. Oraloy, Sybraloy, and Tytin were inferior to Dispersalloy and were grouped together. Aristaloy was inferior to all other alloys in the study. When the aspect of finishing was considered, Dispersalloy and Sybraloy evidenced excellent margin performance when unfinished. Aristaloy showed the worst margin performance of all the alloys in the study when unfinished, but showed remarkable improvement in margin performance when finished.
