DENTAL AMALGM & COMPOSITE
DENTAL AMALGAM :
Dental amalgam is a metal like
restorative material composed of a
mixture of silver/tin/copper alloy and
mercury.
DENTAL COMPOSITE :
They are highly cross linked polymeric
materials reinforced by a
dispersion of glass,crystalline or
resin filler particles or short
fibers bound to the matrix by
silane coupling agents.
COMPOSITION OF AMALGM & COMPOSITE
Dental Composite:
• Based on curing mechanism:
• 1-Chemically activated
• 2-Light activated
• Based on size of filler particles:
• 1-Conventional 8-12 um
• 2-Small particle 1-5 um
• 3-Microfilled 0.04-0.4 um
• 4-Hybrid 0.6-1.0 um.
INDICATIONS OF AMALGM & COMPOSITE
Dental Amalgam:
• Restoration of posterior
teeth(ClassI&II) (Moderate
to large preparations).
• Class V preparations (when
esthetics is not the prime
concern).
• Core build up for badly
broken down teeth in the
posterior teeth.
• Sometimes in distal surface
of canines.
• For moderate caries control.
INDICATIONS OF AMALGM & COMPOSITE
Dental Composite:
• Class I,II,III,IV,V,VI
restorations.
• Foundation or core buildup.
• Esthetic enhancement
procedures-
• Partial veneers and Full
veneers.
• Diastema closure.
• For periodontal splinting.
