SMART Removal Technique

 

What is SMART protocol? SMART is developed by the IAOMT organization and stands for: Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. Since the amount of mercury vapors released is increased when removing the restoration with a dental handpiece, the protocol was developed to ensure that the patient and the dental team is protected during the removal of Mercury Amalgam fillings.  

  • Charcoal Slurry- patient will swish with a charcoal slurry  
  • Protective gowns and headwear for patient and dental team
  • Tooth/teeth isolated with non-latex rubber dam
  • Air filtration system used to absorb any mercury vapors released into the air
  • Gas masks are worn by dental team
  • Patient placed on 100% oxygen
  • High volume suction  
  • Mercury amalgam fillings removed with “cut and chunk” method, to release as little vapors as possible

 

Professionals who believe in dental care through healthy living and a personalized experience that treats patients like family.
