With the growing release of mercury vapor from dental implants and fillings, we support safe mercury amalgam removal techniques that are adopted from IAOMT recommendations. Our Holistic Dental Advisors follow these protocols rigorously. We collaborate with dental personnel to utilize some of the most updated innovative scientific approaches and incorporate them in their amalgam removal processes in order to supplement their conventional methods.

IAOMT Protocol

The SMART Protocol includes the following measures to be followed:

  • Mercury amalgam needs to be collected into an amalgam separator.
  • We should make use of air filtration systems to ensure adequate mercury removal from dental fillings.
  • A piece of charcoal should be placed inside the mouth at the start of a process.
  • Dental Personnel should wear protective gowns, face masks, head barrier, oxygen mask and non-latex nitrile gloves to maintain the standards of safety and efficacy.
  • A dental dam made up of non-latex nitrile material should be inserted into the patient’s mouth with a saliva ejector placed underneath to protect from mercury exposure.
  • During the amalgam removal process, the dentist should shower water profusely utilizing high speed suction evacuation device.
  • The mercury amalgam should be removed using a carbide drill and broken down into big pieces.
  • At the end of the amalgam removal process, the patient’s mouth should be thoroughly flushed and charcoal should be introduced for absorption purposes.
  • Dental Personnel need to comply fully with the laws of federal state and local regulations to ensure smooth handling, cleaning and removal of mercury exposed equipment, clothing and surfaces within the dental clinic.
  • Dental Personnel should utilize personal protection gear during the usage of suction traps.

The IAOMT does not recommend mercury amalgam removal for pregnant women or breast feeding children by dental personnel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1565331748924{padding-top: 60px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3030″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
