【 摘 要 】

A filling is the repair of a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring it back to its normal shape, appearance and function. Amalgam Restoration is an example of the material giving its name to the process. Amalgam fillings are made up of mercury, powdered silver and tin. They are mixed and packed into cavities in teeth where it hardens slowly and replaces the missing tooth substance. This article throws light on low copper alloys of dental amalgam, its advantages, disadvantages and contraindications. A review of some patents on amalgam is also provided that summarizes the recent technical advancements taken place in this area.
