Composite Fillings Are Choice
The fillings that dentists found the most durable, and stable, during the early nineteenth century were metals like lead or gold. Amalgam started becoming popular in the mid-nineteenth century, and from the beginning the mercury used in this filling was questioned by many doctors. Today, white composite filling is the technique of choice used to help restore teeth. This type of filling is made with a composite of materials; which is mostly made up of quartz resin and filler particles.
