The Importance of Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal

Safe mercury amalgam removal is a procedure designed to minimize mercury exposure when removing silver amalgam fillings. It involves using specific protocols, such as a rubber dam, high-volume suction, and protective gear, to prevent mercury vapor release and ensure safe disposal of the material. The goal is to protect both the patient and dental staff from potential health risks associated with mercury. This approach prioritizes safety and well-being throughout the process.
