S.M.A.R.T. PROTOCOL

Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART).

1. Reduce mercury vapors by cooling with water

The Dental Specialist uses copious amounts of cool water to reduce heat, later, with a conventional high-speed evacuation device, the Dentist captures mercury discharges, as a result, the levels of this metal in the environment are reduced.

2. Drilling of amalgam

Proceeding to section the amalgam into chunks and removed as large of pieces as possible using a small diameter carbide drill.

3. High volume suction with custom isolation tip (Clean Up brand)

High-speed evacuation produces better capture when fitted with a Clean Up device,45, 87.

4. Secondary air evacuation

The Dental Clinic will provide the patient with an alternative air source, due to he/she must not breathe through their mouth during treatment. A nasal hood with nitrous oxide analgesia equipment is an excellent option. Air is best and oxygen is acceptable although not required. In the case of air only, dental Staff must ensure that it is clean and free of mercury vapor, preferably from outside the Dental Office.

5. Using of a rubber dam

The dentist place and seals properly the dental dam (made it with non-latex nitrile material) in the patient’s mouth, which helps to the saliva suction.

6. Using of Non-latex gloves

The dentist and all dental personnel in the room must use non-latex nitrile gloves.

7. Immediately clean up

After the fillings have been removed and replaced, the dentist or dental assistant should immediately remove and dispose of the patient’s protective covering and thoroughly clean his face and neck. All mercury safe dentists should routinely do this but remind the assistant if she forgets, after all, you don’t want to take any mercury home with you.

8. Using of Charcoal

Once the removal process is complete, the patient’s mouth should be thoroughly flushed with water and then rinsed out with a slurry of charcoal, chlorella, or similar adsorbent.

9. Filtering air in the operatory

Each room where the dental specialist removes mercury fillings must have adequate filtration that requires a high volume air filtration system (such as an oral aerosol vacuum at the source) capable of removing mercury vapor and amalgam particles. generated during the removal of one or more mercury fillings.

10. Providing Clean Air for the Patient

Using a nasal mask provides the patient with external air or oxygen and assures that he/she does not inhale any mercury vapor or amalgam particulate during the procedure. A nasal cannula is an acceptable alternative for this purpose as long as the patient’s nose is completely covered with an impermeable barrier.

11. Protect Patient Skin and Clothing

A full body, impermeable barrier, as well as a full head/face/neck barrier under/around the dam, should be utilized.

Amalgam Filling Removal Treatment Alternatives

Dental Crowns

After the removal of the Amalgam Filling, you would benefit from placing a Dental Crown for the protection and functionality of the tooth. Not to mention to give you a better aesthetic look.

Veneers

If you are looking for a more Cosmetic approach to a brighter smile then Veneers are a good alternative to Crowns. Veneers require less prep work and preserve more of your tooth structure. Malocclusion issues and/or Bruxism may not be candidates for Veneers.

Root Canal

Perhaps when removing the Amalgam Filling we have compromised the pulp chamber of the tooth. In this case, a Root Canal would be needed, likely followed by a post and core build-up and a Crown for the protection of the tooth from further fractures or filtration of bacteria.
