Abstract / Excerpt:

Amalgam is still one of the most useful and widely used dental filling materials. On rare occasions however allergy to one of its constituents may preclude its use. In such instances confirmation is required so that an appropriate treatment plan may be formulated and submitted (if necessary) to the Dental Estimates Board (DEB) for approval.
