Comparative Study
Mercury vapor release during insertion and removal of dental amalgam
Oper Dent.
1994 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
During a clinical simulation of insertion and removal of dental amalgams, mercury vapor levels increased slightly, but never exceeded the TLV of 0.05 mg/m3. The addition of indium to dental alloy did not affect the amount of mercury vapor released under these conditions.
