The ADA recently recognized the American Public Health Associations recognition of Amalgam as a safe and effective filling material. As stated in the last post of my blog, Amalgam is made up of a combined silver, copper, tin, and elemental mercury. This combination creates a filling material that is easy to apply for younger or disabled patients who have a harder time sitting still during the procedure. Though the element mercury is present in the material, the American Public Health Association has "unmatched" credibility in matters concerning safe material as it is the oldest organization of public health in the world.
