The US FDA has laid down it’s final verdict into the controversy that is dental amalgam a long time ago. It gave credence to the use of the material in dental work considering it safe but with conditions for it’s safe use. Classified as a Class II Medical Device, it gives the FDA ample regulatory control to lay-out guidelines as to the proper way of working and handling the said material.
Guidelines include; having ample ventilation when working with the material, assurance that the patient is not allergic to mercury and that they do explain properly to the patient the risks of the use of the material. Mercury has been known to affect the health of people who are exposed to vapors that can lead to death. Proper education is the key according to the Us FDA.
