Abstract
The present invention concerns totally solid amalgamating compositions particularly useful in the preparation of dental amalgams for filling cavities and similar dental applications, comprising one or more solid amalgamating alloys, metals and/or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof, amalgam forming compositions containing such totally solid amalgamating compositions, methods for producing dental amalgams with such totally solid amalgamating compositions or amalgam forming compositions containing them, and denial amalgams produced thereby.
Claims78
A solid amalgamating composition comprising one or more solid mercury containing alloys, or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof, that upon trituration With an amalgamable composition provides a dental amalgam.
A solid dental amalgam forming composition comprising;
- (a) a solid amalgamating composition, comprising one or more solid mercury containing alloys, or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof and in addition
- (b) a solid amalgamable composition comprising one or more solid amalgamable alloys, metals and/or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof, wherein the formation of the dental amalgam can be effected by trituration of the said solid amalgam forming composition.
A method for forming a dental amalgam by triturating together
- (a) a solid amalgamating composition comprising one or more solid reincur containing alloys, or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof, and
- (b) a n amalgamable composition comprising one or more solid amaigamable alloys, metals and/or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof.
Dental amalgam prepared by trituration together of
- (a) a solid amalgamating composition comprising one or more solid mercury containing alloys, or intermetallic compounds or combinations thereof, and
