INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Indications for use: Filling material as a treatment for dental caries
(1) Press capsule plunger
 |
 |
(2) Insert capsule in amalgamator (Trituration time: high speed 12-15 seconds, medium speed 16-19 seconds, low speed 20-23 seconds) a correctly triturated amalgam will form into a bright homogenous plastic mass.
(3) After trituration remove the capsule.
(4) Tap the base end of the capsule sharply on a bench.
(5) Separate the base from the body and remove the prepared amalgam. (6) Condense into cavity.
(7) Finish restoration.
Application: Start application of amalgam immediately on completion of the mix. Apply in increments into the cavity without forcing out mercury. Condense with appropriate pressure.
Polishing: Waite at least 24 hours before polishing.
Spillage: Mercury presents a health hazard if handled incorrectly. Mercury is toxic by vapour inhalation and the effect is cumulative. Spillage of mercury should be removed immediately, including from places which are difficult to access. Use a plastic syringe to draw it up. Smaller quantities can be covered by sulfur powder and removed. Avoid inhalation of the vapor.
Moisture contamination: if moisture is introduced into the amalgam before it has set, properties such as strength and corrosion resistance can be attached (delayed expansion). Use a dry field, whenever amalgam before it has set, properties such possible.
Effect of mercury on metals: mercury corrodes and embrittles particular metals and their alloys. Avoid unnecessary contact between mercury and those metals and their alloys.
