AMALeAM FILLING MUCH USED
Tendency Of the Alloy to Shrink
While Becoming Hard Has
Been Overcome.

When the science and art OF dent
istry was in its infancy some 60 years
ago, the filing in general use was gold,
and at that time there were very few
dentists capable OF doing good work
In those days the dentist had very
few instruments to work with, and
most Of those were fashioned by his
own hand The majority Of the opera
lions on the teeth we're by men who
were selftaught, or who had gained
their knowledge in the office Of man
who was self-taught Yet even In that
day there were soma who, through ne
cessity. became expert with the crudo
instruments.
One day there appeared in the city
OF New York some dentists lately ar
rived from Paris. who were intro
ducing a new filling material. The old
conservative dentist looked with dis
favor upon the new material, and re-
fused to use it. However, it gradually
came to be used more and more. until
all were forced to acknowledge its
value. Today there are probably more
amalgarn filings inserted than all 9TH
ers combined.
Amalgam, or, as It is sometimes call.
ed, silver llling. is made by taking an
alloy OF silver and tin and cutting into
filings ana shavings. These shavings
are afterwards thoroughly kneaded
with mercury, so as to form a plastic
mass. which, inserted into cavity Of
q tooth, becomes, in time, very hard.
The combination Of these metals
makes a close union that the fluids Of
the mouth cannot disintegrate, al.
though. in time, the filing may show
some discoloration. For this reason,
1t is commonly used in the back teeth,
where 1t cannot be seen.
Within the past ten years there has
been great improvement In dental
alloys. This has been brought about
by exhaustive tests, both inside the
mouth and out. The di@cuIty that had
been experienced up to this time was
the tendency of the filing material to
shrink while It was getting hard, so
that there was a space between the
filling ana the margin of the cavity.
1t became a delight for the microbes
in the saliva to enter that space, and
then decay would start In again.
Modern manufacturers now produce
an alloy In which there Is no shrink
age whatever. Some so combine the
metals In the alloy that there is q
