Description
B.K Alloy Spherical Amalgam is a dental filling material used for restorations. It is a high-copper, non-gamma 2 alloy. The alloy is composed of silver, tin, and copper, which are mixed with mercury to form the amalgam. This type of amalgam is designed to be strong, durable, and offer good resistance to corrosion, which helps in providing a long-lasting dental filling. The spherical particle shape is intended to require less condensation force and provide a smooth surface during carving and burnishing. Some product descriptions mention that the raw materials are sourced from Australia.
