In this study, clinical performance of Dentinal slot, Amalgapin & Pin Retained Amalgam restoration was evaluated. The study was performed in 20 patients requiring extensive restoration. Clinical evaluation was done by two caliberated experts at 6 months, one year, & one & half year duration. It was concluded that Dentinal slot restorations showed better clinical performance than the Pin retained restorations. However results of Amalgapin restorations were not that promising.
