The use of amalgam is currently uncommon, although it is considered a reliable, effective and safe filling material; with the development of new restorative materials with different characteristics and advantages, such as biocompatibility and bioactivity. It is well established that the problem with amalgams, either at the time of placement or removal from the dental organs, is the release of mercury in the form of vapor, the patient is exposed to mercury intoxication in the dental practice.
When a tooth suffers a caries lesion there is a cavity (pit) on its surface that must be restored with some type of material, resins are plastic materials, its main advantage is its color very similar to the natural tooth. The amalgams were widely used in the past but are currently in disuse mainly because of its metallic color and alleged toxic reactions.
It is important to mention that to carry out this procedure we perform the following:
It involves high volume suction and oxygen masks to minimize mercury exposure and keep you safe, throughout the process the filtration system ensures a clean and toxin free environment, amalgam fillings are carefully removed in pieces to reduce the release of mercury vapor.
By removing the amalgams, you avoid any contact with particles or vapors of this potentially harmful metal.
The ability to see accurately allows orthodontists to identify problems in their early stages, which can result in earlier interventions and less invasive treatments.
The amalgams fulfill their function and are very durable without creating prejudice for the patient. It is only necessary to remove the amalgams when they present problems following the S.M.A.R.T. protocol to minimize the risks.
