Safe removal of amalgam
It is a procedure that is performed safely, following certified protocols. It consists of removing the amalgam present by replacing it with biocompatible compounds that safeguard the affected tooth.
It is painless.
Amalgam
Alloy of metals also containing mercury.
Mercury
Very harmful to our bodies and the environment.
Replacement (correct as-is)
Biocompatible ceramics and composites.
What is amalgam?
Amalgam is a metal alloy also containing mercury that, in the past, was used to fill teeth.
About 440 mg of mercury is present in one filling, and the alloy, over time, oxidizes and some particles can be corroded in the saline environment of the mouth. The particles can be absorbed by the mucous membranes of the oral cavity by going directly into the bloodstream, depositing in organs, causing toxicity.
They can be swallowed and, passing into the stomach and intestines, affect the liver and kidneys for disposal. Some is eliminated through urine and feces, going on to contaminate the environment.
Symptoms and harms of mercury
Mercury can be the cause of various diseases and disorders, including serious ones such as:
anemia;
anorexia;
colitis;
depression;
dermatitis;
emotional instability;
headaches, headaches and migraines;
hearing loss;
hypertension;
lack of concentration;
memory deficits;
tremors;
urinary tract inflammation;
kidney damage.
Advantages of modern fillings
They are made of biocompatible and inert materials.
They last over time.
They withstand chewing stresses.
They are cost-effective.
Identical to the natural tooth, they improve the aesthetics of the smile.
The stages of the pathway
Dental examination and pre-treatment
After the examination and in the presence of damaged or worn amalgam fillings, "chelating" supplements are prescribed, which are necessary to cleanse the body of any harmful substances, capture residues and expel them. The correct procedure involves:
taking the chelating supplements for at least 10 days before removal;
drinking at least 2 liters of water daily;
not taking alcohol, chocolate and sweets;
eliminating or limiting milk and dairy products;
avoiding solanaceae (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers), which are rich in histamine, a reactive substance, during therapy.
1
Mercury isolation
The removed amalgam blocks sucked out of the hood are separated by material type by the suction system. Then they are collected and closed in appropriate containers and disposed of according to legal procedures.
3
Removal of amalgams
The removal of amalgams must follow a specific procedure that involves working in complete safety, both for the person and the physician. Gowns and headgear are used to protect people, a hood suitable for suctioning the vapors released by the amalgam is activated, and the respiratory tract is protected. The filling to be treated is isolated with rubber dam and thus safely removed.
2
Replacement (correct as-is)
Once the amalgam is removed, the filling is reassembled using biocompatible material, restoring the natural function and effect of the tooth.

Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità
Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità ed empatia nel confronto del paziente che lo fa sentire a proprio agio.
Io ero terrorizzata del dentista e mi sono lasciata andare senza curare più i miei denti .
Fin dalla prima visita presso questo centro, il dr. Andriolo mi ha tranquillizzata e messa a mio agio .
E infatti fin dalle prime prestazioni non ho sentito dolore, ne durante ne una volta tornata a casa
Oggi x esempio, ho fatto una cura canalare e un'estrazione di un molare, sono entrata in studio alle 10 00 e uscita alle 13.30. tranquilla e serena come se non fosse successo niente. Siete meravigliosi... grazie 🙏💖🙏
