Dental fillings are inserted as restorations in the treatment of dental cavities, after drilling out the cavities. The purpose of drilling is to remove the enamel and dentin that has had its structural integrity compromised by the invasion of acid-producing bacteria. However, once the infected hard tissues have been removed, the resulting cavity preparation must be filled in order to restore structural integrity to the tooth. This will prevent further damage to the tooth and hopefully avoid the eventual need for the tooth to be extracted.

Types


Amalgam (also called silver filling)

See also: Dental amalgam controversy
Amalgam fillings are an alloy of mercury (from 43% to 54%) along with silver, tin, zinc and copper. Due to the known toxicity of mercury, the main component of amalgam fillings, there is an ongoing dental amalgam controversy on the use of this filling material.

After widespread adoption and wildly varying standards, the multitude of formulas for making amalgams were standardised into the gamma-2-phase amalgam formula in 1895.
