ADA Position Statements: Mercury in Dental Amalgams
This site features a 2002 statement by the American Dental Association (ADA) to a government committee studying safety and efficacy of dental amalgam, which contains mercury, in repairing teeth. Includes a chart that compares restorative dental materials (amalgams, composites, glass ionomers, and resin-ionomers) in areas such as uses, leakage and decay, aesthetics, cost, and biocompatibility.
