چکیده
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of dental amalgam as retrograde filling material compared to gutta-percha. A prospective and comparative observational study was carried out on 30 patients at Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar from October 2004 to October 2009 with or without retrograde amalgam filling and the success was determined at the end of the year both radio-graphically and clinically. The radio graphic success rate was 86.6% and the clinical success rate was 73.3% where amalgam was used as retrograde filling material.
