Dental Amalgam is a restorative material. It's a Mercury, silver, tin, & copper compound. It was the preferred type of restorative for carries (fillings) until around 2000 at which point composite resin fillings became the norm. This was due to the large amount (nearly half) the material being composed of mercury.
