What element is used in tooth fillings?

Question

I need to find which element is in an alloy to make tooth fillings.

Answer 1

Gold or silver. Any more though it's an epoxy type material.

Answer 2

There are two types of Dental restorations. They are
a) Direct restoration
b) Indirect restoration

Direct restorations : are fillings placed immediately into a prepared cavity in a single visit. They include dental amalgam, glass ionomers, resin ionomers and some resin composite fillings.

Indirect restorations: generally require two or more visits. They include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges fabricated with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics or composites.

I think you are going for direct one.

AMALGAM FILLINGS:
Dental amalgam is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements.

COMPOSITE FILLINGS:
Composite fillings are a mixture of glass or quartz filler in a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling.

IONOMERS:
Glass ionomers are translucent, tooth-colored materials made of a mixture of acrylic acids and fine glass powders that are used to fill cavities, particularly those on the root surfaces of teeth.
Resin ionomers also are made from glass filler with acrylic acids and acrylic resin.

Hope I helped you :)
