Background/objectives Dental amalgam has been a successful restoration for over a century. However, restoration failures due to secondary caries, fractured teeth or restorations, marginal deficiencies, tooth wear, and secondary caries remain significant concerns. Amalgam-bond, known for its ability to bond amalgam to the tooth structure and prevent percolation, forms a strong bond with vital dentin. This study aimed to compare the outcome of marginal fractures in bonded amalgam and conventional amalgam posterior restorations among patients at a tertiary care dental hospital. Materials and methods Sixty consecutive patients aged 25-35 years, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, participated in this study. A thorough history, clinical examination, and standardized periapical radiographs were conducted. Patients were divided randomly into two equal groups, group A and group B. Group A received bonded amalgam restorations, while group B received conventional amalgam restorations. Polishing was performed at a recall visit after seven days, and a follow-up evaluation was done after two months. The final assessment of marginal fractures was recorded after six months. Results After six months, 28 (46.7%) patients showed no marginal fractures, including 11 males and 17 females. On the other hand, 32 (53.3%) patients exhibited marginal fractures, comprising 17 males and 15 females. The clinical success rate of group A was better than group B (p = 0.001). Conclusion Bonded amalgam demonstrates a high success rate and should be a routine choice for treating carious permanent molars in dental practice.
