System and method for reducing environmental crematorial release of mercury from mercury-containing dental amalgam

A system for reducing thermal damage to dental amalgam during cremation comprising:

• a curable thermal protectant composition;
• an applicator;
• and
• a dental containment;
• wherein said applicator and dental form are constructed for mechanical coupling so as to permit fluid transport from said applicator through said dental form.

An applicator system for delivering a curable thermal protectant composition into the oral cavity of a body, said system comprising:

• an applicator comprising an elongated chamber and having a proximal portion and a distal portion, said distal portion further comprising an open end;
• a cap structured to removably attach onto said distal portion of said chamber;
• a delivery extension having a proximal portion and a distal portion, said distal portion having a bifurcated region having a pair of branches, each branch having an open distal end, and said proximal portion comprising an attachment element structured to removably attach to said distal portion of said chamber;
• wherein both said cap and said attachment element comprise respective coupling structures that cooperate with a corresponding coupling structure positioned at the distal portion of said chamber.
