Dental amalgam is a restorative material used to fill cavities in teeth, created by combining mercury with a silver-tin-copper alloy. Once applied, it hardens into a durable filling that restores function and structure to damaged teeth, offering a long-lasting solution for posterior (back) teeth.
These devices are typically single-use and supplied in premeasured forms like capsules or tablets to ensure precise mixing. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, often requiring compliance with dental material safety and handling standards, but classification depends on the specific formulation and intended use.
