Description
DPI Dental Silver Amalgam Powder is a fine grain, high silver content alloy formulated for posterior restorations where strength and durability take priority over aesthetics. Silver-based amalgam materials have been used in dentistry for well over a century, valued for their strength and consistent long-term performance.
Manufactured by DPI (Dental Products of India), a division of The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation with a manufacturing track record dating back to 1962, this alloy is supplied as a bulk powder intended for trituration with mercury (sold separately) using a mortar and pestle or a mechanical amalgamator.
The alloy is designed for easy carving and a superior final polish once set, giving clinicians a dependable, cost-effective option for load-bearing posterior cavities.
