Beschreibung

Sodium mercury amalgam is a metal-containing material that has been used as a dental filling material for over 150 years. It is made by mixing mercury with sodium hydroxide, which causes the mercury to react with the sodium and form an amalgam. The reaction between the two metals produces hydrogen gas, which is released from the mixture. The resulting product is an amalgam of mercury, sodium and water. Sodium mercury amalgams have shown biological activity in studies involving enzyme activities and metabolism rates in animals.br>br> Lithium mercury amalgam is also used in dental fillings. Lithium replaces some of the sodium in this compound, forming a more stable product that does not corrode easily. Lithium has no significant effect on the properties of this compound.br> br> Mercury zinc amalgam has also been studied as a potential alternative to dental fillings due to its low cost and better corrosion resistance than other types of filling materials.br>
