    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Materials Science
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Dental treatments utilize various materials that can impact the environment.
    • Heavy metals, particularly mercury from dental amalgam, are significant pollutants.
    • Other chemically active and infected materials present minimal environmental hazards.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the environmental risks associated with dental materials.
    • To identify the primary polluting substances used in dentistry.
    • To evaluate current waste management practices for dental materials.

    Summary:

    • Dental materials pose environmental risks, with heavy metals like mercury being the most concerning pollutants.
    • Sulphides and other chemically active/infected materials are less hazardous.
