DENTAL AMALGAM

                                     

Dental Amalgam is a commonly used dental filling that has been in use for over 150 years. It is a mixture of multiple metals including silver. Amalgam has many advantages over other restorative material, such as low cost, strength, durability, and bacteriostatic effects.   The Ennissmiles Dental Clinic  is located near E Ennis Ave, suite C , Tx is the  best option available and affordable dentist available and  the nearest dentist office for all of your  Dental need .

Amalgam is used in dentistry for a number of reasons. It is relatively easy to use and manipulate during placement; it remains soft for a short time so it can be packed to fill any irregular volume, and then forms a hard compound. Amalgam possesses greater longevity than other direct restorative materials, such as composite. On average, most amalgam restorations serve for 10 to 12 years, whereas resin-based composites serve for about half that time. However, with recent improvements in composite material science and a better understanding of the technique-sensitivity of placement, it should be noted that this difference is decreasing.

There are circumstances in which composite (white fillings) serves better than amalgam; when amalgam is not indicated, or when a more conservative preparation would be beneficial, composite is the recommended restorative material. These situations would include small occlusal restorations, in which amalgam would require the removal of a more sound tooth structure, as well as in “enamel sites beyond the height of contour.”
