“…The volumetric alteration is material dependent and can be expressed as over-or underestimation. 10,13,18 As in several studies, the materials used in this study demonstrated particular behavior concerning tomographic volumetric alteration, which can be explained, among other factors, by intrinsic characteristics such as physical density, atomic number of its sub compounds and composition homogeneity. 13 In accordance with previous studies, 9,10,18 amalgam showed the highest volumetric alteration rate, regardless of the protocol used, mainly due to the high atomic number of its compounds and greater density among the cylinders.…”
