Amalgam has been the material of choice for restoring posterior teeth for more than 100 years. The past 25 years have witnessed significant advances in restorative materials themselves and in the bonding systems for retaining a restoration in the prepared tooth. As a result, there has been a shift toward resin composite materials during this same period because of concerns about the esthetics and biocompatibility of dental amalgam. In addition, other materials such as glass ionomer cements, ceramic inlays and onlays, and gold alloys have been used as alternatives to amalgam. This article will review recent studies on the longevity and biocompatibility of these alternatives to dental amalgam.
100多年来，汞合金一直是后牙修复的首选材料。在过去的25年里，修复材料本身以及用于将修复体固定在预备好的牙齿上的粘结系统都取得了重大进展。因此，由于对牙科汞合金的美观性和生物相容性的担忧，在同一时期已经出现了向树脂复合材料的转变。此外，其他材料，如玻璃离子粘固剂、陶瓷嵌体和高嵌体以及金合金，也被用作汞合金的替代品。本文将综述关于这些牙科汞合金替代品的使用寿命和生物相容性的最新研究。
