But to create this mechanical adhesion, it required a lot of abrasion from the tooth. In addition, since the mechanical attachment could not be fully achieved, the filling was faced with falls and also dark gray and black images, which are the colors of the amalgam filling, were encountered. This caused us to move away from the intended aesthetic appearance of the procedure. Japanese scientist Prof. Dr. With the Bonding (Adhesive System) method developed by Nakabayashi, Composite (white filling) or porcelain It is ensured that the materials closest to the tooth color, called the tooth color, are adhered to the tooth by using resin-based materials.

Amalgam fillings are mechanically attached to the tooth and even if the tooth decay is cleaned, the intact enamel tissue was also etched so that the hole opened in the tooth was in certain principles. Therefore; Making large cavities in the teeth weakened the tooth in order to withstand the forces on it. These fillings are still used today by dentists when deemed necessary.
