Amalgam (dentistry)
Dental amalgam is a liquid Mercury (element), mercury and metal alloy mixture used in dentistry to dental filling, fill cavities caused by tooth decay. Low-copper amalgam commonly consists of mercury (element), mercury (50%), silver (~22–32%), tin (~14%), zinc (~8%) and other trace metals. Dental amalgams were first documented in a Tang Dynasty medical text written by Su Gong (苏恭) in 659, and appeared in Germany in 1528. In the 1800s, amalgam became the dental restorative material of choice due to its low cost, ease of application, strength, and durability. In July 2018 the EU prohibited amalgam for dental treatment of children under 15 years and of pregnant or breastfeeding women. History of use There are, according to Geir Bjørklund, indications that dental amalgam was used in the first part of the Tang Dynasty in China (AD 618–907), and in Germany by Strockerus in about 1528. Evidence of a dental amalgam first appears in the Tang Dynasty medical text ''Xinxiu ben ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amalgam (chemistry)
An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal A metal (from Greek μέταλλον ''métallon'', "mine, quarry, metal") is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typicall .... It may be a liquid, a soft paste or a solid, depending upon the proportion of mercury. These alloys are formed through metallic bonding, with the electrostatic attractive force of the conduction electrons working to bind all the positively charged metal ions together into a Crystal structure, crystal lattice structure. Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgam (dentistry), amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the Gold extraction, extraction of gold from ore. Dentistry has used alloys of mercury with metals such as silver, copper, indium, tin a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
