I don't cut tooth structure with a high speed without a
continuous water spray. I don't know any dentist who would.
This keeps the temperature low so as not to damage the pulp
tissue inside the tooth. I'm sure it lessens the possibility
of 'melting' any mercury from the bonds with the silver (and
other trace metals) in the amalgam.
I've been practicing dentistry for 29 years, and the last time
I was checked for mercury, I was lower than the U.S. average.
I could go on, but my tractor is calling...

I'm sure many dentists use or have used unsafe methods for drilling
out fillings, in that they do not use or maximize water cooling. I
don't know what methods
you personally use. I was not refering specifically to you. Maybe you
have the most advanced water cooling, particle removal, oxygen mask/
air filtering system on the planet.
If a general dental standard exists requiring the use of water
cooling ( I hate to use the words "dental standard", because I know
none exists when it comes to Hg exposure and the ADA itself defends
itself in court as a trade organization) I'd sure like to see it, and
I would be very curios to see how or why that is rationalized in terms
of Hg exposure to the patient or dentist. |
