Amalgam Procedure Flashcards Quizlet Proper placement of dental amalgam is essential to the long term success of the amalgam restoration. modern amalgams are strong and hard enough to support most chewing forces and are versatile enough for restoring lesions in almost all teeth. What is an amalgam filling? amalgam is one of the most common types of filling material to replace part of a tooth that has been lost or damaged. amalgam is silver in colour and is made from a mixture of different metals including silver, tin and copper and mercury.
Amalgam Procedure Lightly hold down the amalgam with an instrument and carefully remove the remaining portion of the matrix band in the bucco occlusal or linguo occlusal direction. Carving of the amalgam should be continuous with existing tooth form and provide an accurate adaptation to the exposed cavity margin. an over extension of amalgam beyond the margins and onto the enamel can fracture readily into the bulk of amalgam and leave a crevice. Proper trituration is important to coat the alloy particles. the document also outlines the steps for condensing the amalgam into the cavity preparation using incremental layering and discusses carving and polishing the final restoration. download as a pptx, pdf or view online for free.

This document discusses the manipulation and placement of dental amalgam. it covers the key steps: (1) selecting the alloy type, (2) proportioning the mercury and alloy, (3) mixing or "triturating" them together, (4) condensing the amalgam into the prepared tooth cavity, (5) carving the restoration to the proper shape, and (6) polishing. This article aims to provide a step by step, painless procedure for different types of fillings, such as amalgam filling, gold filling, temporary fillings, and composite resin.
