The use of dental amalgam and amalgam waste management in Kosova: An environmental policy approach

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2021
Dental amalgam from dental clinics in Kosova is an uncontrolled source of mercury. The environmental legislative framework related to its use does not fully provide measures that reduce amalgam use and the release of its waste into the environment.

SAFETY OF DENTAL AMALGAM

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 2004
This Critical Appraisal is a departure from our usual format. Usually, contributors review several articles about a specific topic. Instead, we have asked Dr. Osborne to review several topics related to a specific issue, the safety of dental amalgam. Despite the increasing use of tooth‐colored restorative materials, amalgam remains a widely used and ...

Dental Amalgam and Mercury

Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1992
Abstract: The mercury concentrations in blood (HgB) and urine (HgU) samples, and in exhaled air (HgAir) were measured in 147 individuals from an urban Norwegian population, using cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. The study aimed to estimate the mercury exposure from the dental restorations, by correlating the data to the presence of amalgam ...

Electroetching of Dental Amalgam

Journal of Dental Research, 1974
Application of the potentiostatic polarization technique to the metallographic etching of set dental amalgam is described. Etching studies of amalgam prepared from a lathe-cut, a spherical, and a silver-copper dispersed-phase amalgam alloy are reported. The γ2 phase in set dental amalgam can be characterized by this electrochemical technique.

Corrosion of Dental Amalgam

Nature, 1972
DENTAL amalgam is incorporated into about 80% of all dental restorations. It is prepared by grinding or triturating a silver–tin alloy (Ag3Sn, the γ phase) with mercury in the proportions 1 : 1 or 5 : 6 of alloy to mercury. The setting reaction of dental amalgam has been studied by many workers1–4 and is now accepted to be

Dental amalgam and mercury [PDF]

open access: possibleBiology of Metals, 1989
Mercury concentration in intraoral air and urine of seven females with dental amalgam was measured before and after intake of one hard-boiled egg. A considerable decrease in mercury concentration in intraoral air was found. Twenty women with about equal dental amalgam status, with or without subjective symptoms related to dental amalgam, were also ...
