Are silver fillings still used?

Dental Filling is a method used to restore teeth that are damaged by tooth decay. In this method, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and is cleaned. The cleaned-out cavity is then filled with a filling material. The filling material used for filling includes gold, porcelain, composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and Amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings are otherwise known as silver fillings. Amalgam fillings are a mixture of silver, mercury, tin, and copper. Amalgam fillings or silver fillings which have been in use since 1895 have become obsolete and out of use. The more common materials that are in use these days are composite fillings.

Osseous surgery is a surgery that might be required when the bone tissue that supports your teeth has been destroyed.

Although root canal treatment is being practiced successfully for many years, the various root canal structures in different people till date does not stop giving surprises to the dentist. Among the several variations in root canal morphologies, the C-shaped root canal is one of the most important. Due to its distinct structure, C-shaped root canals are challenging to treat.
