Silverfil works just like any other amalgam filling, employing the same usage and handling techniques, but minus the problems of excess mercury within the fillings.

 

Unlike conventional dental amalgams, Silverfil consists of only silver particles and a partially amalgamated silver-mercury compound. It contains no tin or copper.

 

The highly reactive powder of Silverfil Argentum completely absorbs all of the mercury used for amalgamation, leaving no traces of any of mercury behind in the fillings. (Tested at City University, London and University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur)
