Amalgam Filling Philippines

The American Dental Association published an article dated August 25,2009 on its Online ADA News the usefulness of amalgam filling.  Indeed, amalgam as a traditional metal filling is still the strongest and the most durable of all dental fillings ever used by the dentists since the beginning of early Dentistry. An excerpt stated,"  Dental amalgam is considered a safe, affordable and durable material that has been used to restore the teeth of more than 100 million Americans. It contains a mixture of metals such as silver, copper and tin, in addition to mercury, which binds these components into a hard, stable and safe substance. Dental amalgam has been studied and reviewed extensively, and has established a record of safety and effectiveness. The FDI World Dental Federation and the World Health Organization concluded in a 1997 consensus statement...  "No controlled studies have been published demonstrating systemic adverse effects from amalgam restorations." Another conclusion of the report stated that, aside from rare instances of local side effects of allergic reactions, "the small amount of mercury released from amalgam restorations, especially during placement and removal, has not been shown to cause any adverse health effects." 

White filling consist of two types; the nano hybrid resin w/ ceramic particles and the composite resin w/o ceramic particles.  The latter is more preferred due to added strength of the ceramic particles.  Price is very affordable..
