Abstract:

Amalgam is basically a concoction of metals that has been used as a potent filling material in dentistry for the last 150 years. Amalgam usually consists of silver, mercury, tin and copper. Dental amalgam is a material used to fill cavities of tooth. Over the years, amalgam has become a topic of concern because it contains mercury. Mercury is a naturally occurring metal in the environment. Mercury exists as a liquid in room temperature but when heated, it becomes a gas. Flexibility of amalgam as a filling material is due Mercury. An alloy powder, a compound that is soft in nature when mixed wi

Abstract:

High-dose exposures to elemental mercury vapor cause emotional dysfunction, but it is uncertain whether the levels of exposure that result from having dental amalgam restorations do so. As part of the New England Children’s Amalgam Trial, a randomized trial involving 6- to 10-year-old children, we evaluated the hypothesis that restoration of caries using dental amalgam resulted in worse psychosocial outcomes than restoration using mercury-free composite resin. The primary outcome was the parent-completed Child Behavior Checklist. The secondary outcome was children’s self-reports using the Beha

Abstract:

This study is the first to report on the use of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) for studying the surface films (less than 10 nm thick) of aged amalgams. The concentrations and electron binding energies of the elements on the surfaces of four different amalgams aged for 20 min, one day, seven days, and 30 days were determined quantitatively. For comparison, the bulk compositions of the amalgams aged for seven days were also determined after removal of approximately 5 nm of material from the surface by argon-ion-sputtering. The XPS data revealed that the surface films of aged zinc

Abstract:

Ideal qualities of dental materials should include, in terms of biocompatibility, passivity towards oral tissues, so the material should not contain any leachable toxic and diffusible substances, neither release any harmful substance that can cause in time side effects, locally or generally. Even if amalgams are a group of dental materials with a long recorded history, many practitioners blame them, in contradiction with composite resins, especially for releasing free mercury into the body. On the other side, composite resins have reached great biocompatibility specifications, but also have ma

Abstract:

This paper describes a novel technology for a mercury-free metallic direct filling material, a substitute to dental amalgams. The consolidation relies both on cold-welding that takes place under moderate pressure between suitably surface-treated silver particles and on silver-tin intermetallic compound formation at ambient temperature. A dilute acid is used for removing the silver surface oxide layers, thereby promoting the cold-welding process. The condensability, namely the ability of a loose powder to undergo consolidation within a short time duration, at body temperature and under moderate

Abstract:

The European Union Environmental Commission report and the United Nation Minamata Convention have legislated for phasing-out of mercury-containing dental materials use (dental amalgams) by 2030.1, 2 Several Scandinavian countries have already banned the use of dental amalgams, and this ban is expected to grow to other countries worldwide.2, 3 This creates a market gap for materials which can be used as an alternative to dental amalgams.4 Varieties of mercury-free dental materials have been clinically approved as posterior restorations; such as (1) resin-based composite materials, and (2) glass

Abstract:

This scientific research deals with the harms and risks of Mercury, found in amalgam dental restorations made in dental activities. It aimed to answer the guiding question: what are the harms of the Mercury component in dental amalgam with a view to the academic-work environment and the natural environment? The general objective was to analyze, together with Dentistry students, the perceptions they have about the environmental theme and their actions in the environments. From the qualitative interpretative approach, the methodology used was the search for publications on the following platform
