Abstract	The dental amalgam has been used for a long time as the only serviceable plastic restorative material for posterior teeth. Although many improvements have been made in regards to the composition of amalgam, recent development of high copper amalgam alloy is probably the most important one. The hardening characteristics of recently available alloys may be summerized as, decreasing of setting time and the time required for obtaining the maximum compressive strength. These rapid hardening properties are often claimed by the manufacturers as a favourable characteristics upon the clinical use. Although hardening characteristics of dental amalgams have been determined commonly with the compressive strength test,1,2) in this study, the hardness test was applied for this
