As was discovered, tooth #30 didn't have a mercury filling, one of two out of five that was without mercury. Instead, it was a silver composite filling called "miracle mix".

Astonishingly, this crown shows the very least corrosion of all my retrieved samples. Even though this crown has corrosion spots from the silver in the "miracle mix" reacting with the gold. Tooth #30 is shown only in the first image below, all other images are of tooth #31's crown and amalgam.

Tooth number 31 is another story all together. From what I can see, the gold and amalgam must have been in direct contact to sponsor the level of corroded change present in some of the retrieved chunks. The corrosion materials on the edge of the crown are silver-tin byproducts lacking mercury.

I remind you the filling started out 50% mercury. The missing mercury all escaped into my biological ecosystem, my blood stream, my tissues, and my GI track. My resulting ill health from mercury exposure is now well documented.

The only amalgam section demonstrating true uncorroded alloy is the silver portion of the chunk marked by the dentists drill. That particular chunk is especially remarkable since the portions of that same chunk untouched by the drill show extreme corrosion.

All the rest of the chunks show that the amalgam has changed phases to varying degrees, all releasing mercury.

The images are magnified between 6 and 24X. The mounting surface is yellow printer ink, which conveys a reddish-yellowish tint to the images.

Each of the gif's is "clickable" for viewing a full size jpeg of the image. What you are looking at is the inside of gold crowns and chunks of amalgam retrieved from the underlying buildup.

The first image is of tooth #30's crown, the second and third images are of tooth #31's crown.

These images are all of tooth #31 amalgam chunks.
