Silverfil Argentum is the world's first and only amalgam that has zero excess mercury upon setting. It has also been proven to have no evidence of genotoxicity.
High Antibacterial properties
Silverfil Argentum fillings contain 6% - 9% free silver, thus having higher antibacterial properties compared to current amalgams containing excess mercury.
Overcomes micro-leakage
Silverfil Argentum has been proven to exhibit good adaptation and show no micro-leakage in the fillings.
Short mixing time
Silverfil Argentum self-activating capsules only require a very short mixing time of 5 -7 seconds due to its highly reactive silver powder.
Good apical seal / Prevents BPA leaching
Silverfil Argentum provides a good apical seal after apicectomy. Used as a foundation (base) below composite resins, it does not compromise aesthetics but also proven to prevent BPA leaching into the pulp.
Cost effective alternative
Silverfil Argentum fillings are durable and not affected by moisture. It is a cost effective, ideal alternative to the current amalgams containing excess mercury.
Environmentally friendly
Silverfil Argentum amalgam is found to be similar to a naturally occurring mineral (Moschellandsbergite) in nature, thus environmentally friendly unlike excess mercury containing amalgams which are considered hazardous waste.
No special storage needed
Silverfil Argentum amalgam waste does not require any special storage since it is has no excess mercury. Thus It can be stored in any dry container. There is also no concern over contamination of the water system in the clinic.
No special disposal needed
Silverfil Argentum amalgam waste is easy to dispose as it is a non-hazardous waste, unlike current amalgams containing excess mercury.
