V.W. Rinne
University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Dentistry, Lincoln, Nebraska 68583
Examination of the aluminum foil pouch used in some pre-measured amalgam capsules for mercury packaging revealed the formation of an unknown substance after trituration. This substance was determined to be aluminum oxide and, in the amorphous or poorly crystallized hydrated form, may be a contaminate of the amalgam alloy.
