Answer» Dental amalgam is the name given to any amalgam used in dentistry.

Most dental amalgam consists of mercury with silver.Dental amalgam is used in the following situations:in individuals of all ages,in stress-bearing areas and in small-to-moderate sized cavities in the posterior teeth,when there is severe destruction of tooth structure and cost is an overriding consideration,as a foundation for cast-metal, metal-ceramic, and ceramic restorations,when patient commitment to personal oral hygiene is poor,when moisture control is problematic with patients, andwhen cost is an overriding patient concern. And in backside of mirrors. |
