Global Dental Amalgam Separator Market: Key Developments

Effective use of dental amalgam separators for mercury reduction is expected to drive the global dental amalgam separator market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the data published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, in December 2021, a study was aimed to clarify the mercury amount remaining in the oral cavity and inside the drain system after removal. Then the dental waste sample was collected in two ways (amalgam separator and gas-liquid separator), and their mercury amounts were measured. It was found that amalgam separators can significantly reduce the amount of mercury in the discharge water and prevent the draining of mercury into the environment as compared to the gas-liquid separator.

Global Dental Amalgam Separator Market: Key Trends

Increasing demand for amalgam separators is expected to drive the dental amalgam separator market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing demand for amalgam separators for the separation of accumulated dental amalgam in the environment is expected to drive the global dental amalgam separator market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2019, according to the data published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, mercury used in products and processes including dental amalgams, is a global pollutant. Its toxic legacy gets continued for decades because of its pervasive bioaccumulation in the environment. Using mercury amalgam separators decrease the mercury from dental offices, thereby eliminating a major source of mercury pollution.
