We know that the oral mucosa due to its good blood supply, from there easily absorb anything. Unfortunately it doesn’t have to absorb, without it may also trigger the metals a lot of local reaction.
Let’s see what the composition of the amalgam is

Is it harmful the amalgam filling?
The WHO’s resolution about the using of the dental amalgam.
Here is a contrary view:
- Must be tested, if the given metal(s) dissolving in the mouth or not? This can be carried out with a special instrument, with the DMA (Dental Metal Activity). This instrument measures the dissolution in the oral cavity can be found, or the restorations, fillings which will be inserted. If the preparation of the restoration is just a plan and we are curious, whether it will cause allergic reaction, then the lab sends a small test piece from the metal, which the doctor bonds to the teeth – let it be a device for orthodontic treatment – and periodically assesses the possible dissolution’s rate. The instrument is able to measure 28 metal and alloy.
- The given results can be evaluated with the dermatological allergy test.
- Perform dental skin test in the dermatological clinic. With the mentioned DMA device’s result can be evaluated.
- Such metals placing in the mouth which electrochemically measured materials, comply with the various standards (ORKI, ISO).
- Similar composition of metals, alloys take place into the mouth during the various restorations.
- If it is possible, the restoration made from metal free materials.
