Clinical Discourse On “Mercury Free Dental Fillings”

Dental cavities are common and dental fillings prevent the loss of tooth structure and save the tooth. Amalgam(is a type of alloy mixture used for fillings) – commonly called the “Silver Filling” was considered the gold standard of fillings due to its strength, resistance and the ease of use. But it has a few disadvantages such as, it contains Mercury which is an industrial pollutant. Many countries in Europe have banned the usage of the same due to its potential toxicity and side effects. Even in India there has been an advice to decrease the usage of the same.

However, we have not been able to find a prefect match to replace Amalgam . Glass Ionomer cements which are pulp friendly and fluoride releasing lacked the strength and the abrasion resistance. Composites were slightly more stronger yet they did lack the marginal leakage resistance. And the quest for a tooth friendly alternative is still on…

There has been a new development in fiber reinforced filling materials has a high strength, which is a tooth friendly and also environment friendly, and gives a aesthetic look .

On Monday, 18-12-2017, at the Video Conference room of Apollo Specialty Hospitals, Teynampet between 2 pm to 4 pm , The Dentists of Apollo Dental shall gather physically as well as through Video Conference to learn more about the new development in the Materials arena and also brainstorm on the adoption of the advances in routine clinical practice.
