In the past, amalgam was the standard filling material for dental defects. Although amalgam fillings are hardly ever placed today, it is amazing how often and in how many mouths you can still see them.

From the point of view of biological dentistry, amalgam fillings with their constant release of mercury should always be perceived as a serious source of danger to health. Old and heavily corroded amalgam fillings are particularly dangerous, as they usually release mercury compounds that are harmful to health. The biological effects of mercury are well known today:

• Enzyme blockages with the consequence of metabolic inertia, lack of energy, chronic fatigue and slagging.
• Displacement of trace elements such as zinc, selenium, copper, manganese and molybdenum. This inactivates our detoxification system.
• Allergies, autoimmune diseases, and a general increase in inflammation.

Amalgam remediation is the removal of amalgam fillings
and replacing them with plastic or ceramic fillings, so-called ceramic inlays. The biologically oriented concept for amalgam sanitation in the dental suite includes treatment under a tension rubber to isolate the teeth, suction and filtering of the mercury-contaminated exhaled air and drilling out with minimal heat development. Likewise, the administration of oxygen and thus the
mercury-binding power in addition to accompanying natural remedies. An amalgam-free chewing organ is a prerequisite for successful removal of mercury from its depots in the organism.
