An amalgam restoration is a filling made of a combination of metals, including silver, tin, copper, and mercury. It is a durable and long-lasting material commonly used to fill cavities in teeth. The mercury in the amalgam is mixed with the other metals to form a safe and stable compound.
Amalgam used in dental fillings typically consists of approximately 50% to 70% mercury as the solvent, and a mixture of silver, tin, copper, and other metals as solutes. Thus, there are multiple solutes and one solvent in dental amalgam.
