AMALGAM REMOVAL PROTOCOL 

Members of The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) follow the below guidelines, believed to be the safest and most comprehensive:

• Utilizing a high volume suction system and copious irrigation.

• Removing large sections of the amalgam at once to minimize amalgam particulate and mercury vapor.

• Proper isolation with barriers (rubber dam, drapes, etc) protecting the patient and staff

• Providing the patient with medical grade oxygen support in a room with superior quality purified air

• Assuring biocompatible placement of restorations

• Working with other healthcare professionals to determine a proper detox protocol so that mercury is not reabsorbed to harm the body.
