RESUMO

The aim of this study was to analyze in vitro surface hardness (micro-indentation tester Wolpert) of different types of amalgam alloys varying the technique and polishing time. Tested were the amalgam: Velvalloy, Permite e Dispersalloy. For each material, 2 polishing techniques were accomplished: T1 (bladed finishing burs + abrasive rubber points + pumice-water slurry in Robinson polishing brush) and; T2 (abrasive rubber points + pumice-water slurry in Robinson polishing brush), at 2 periods of time: P1 (immediately - 15 min after condensation) and P2 (after 24 h). For each experimental condition, 5 samples were prepared. For each sample, 2 indentations were taken and the average was determined. Were made analysis using ANOVA and Tukey test. Were concluded that: a) using the Permite alloy with polishing after 24 h the surface hardness of restoration will be higher; b) the technique T2 enhances the hardness of dental amalgams and c) alloy Permite with polished immediately were statisticaly equal than Velvalloy polished after 24 h.
