Dental amalgam separators are medical devices that are used to collect amalgam particles from dental office wastewater through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation, or a combination of these mechanisms. Elemental mercury is the primary component of dental amalgam. Mercury is a naturally occurring metal in the environment and can exist in liquid, gas, or solid form when combined with other metals. Mercury is released in the environment whenever a dentist removes an old amalgam filling from a cavity, or when excess amalgam is removed during the placement of a new filling. Amalgam separators remove the amalgam particles from the wastewater to reduce the amount of amalgam entering the sewage system. Some separators may also use ion exchange technology to remove mercury from wastewater. Less than 1% of the mercury released into the environment comes from dental preparations and uses. Dental best management practices for amalgam waste handling and disposal include the use of amalgam separators, regular inspection and cleaning of traps, and the use of appropriate commercial waste service to recycle and dispose of collected amalgam is required.
