Amalgam is one of the dental materials more known and used in dentistry. Many of them have been investigated and published about mercury toxicity, for this reason a lot of dentists use other materials which can replace mercury. There is another option for a direct restorative material mercury. In this article I will refer to this material by its commercial name Galloy.
