Rolex Copper Amalgam (sometimes spelled as Amalgum) is a traditional dental restorative material utilized primarily for dental fillings and cavity restorations in posterior teeth.

Key Characteristics & Uses

Composition: It typically consists of a combination of copper and mercury (historically formulated around a ratio containing high amounts of copper combined with mercury).

Function: Used as a direct filling material to repair cavities, particularly in stress-bearing areas where durability and high compressive strength are required.

Handling: Like other amalgams, it starts as a pliable, workable mass that can be easily packed into a prepared tooth cavity before hardening into a strong restoration.

Application: It is a budget-friendly, conventional material found in dental supply markets for durable posterior restorations.
