SMART is safe amalgam removal technique. It involves the use of :
Masks, gowns and protective covering for the safety of the dental professional and the patient.
High volumes of suction to remove particles.
Dental rubber dam to isolate the tooth.
Using a activated charcoal rinse to remove traces of mercury.
Air purification systems like hepa filter so that you don't inhale the mercury vapour.
