An amalgamator is a mechanical apparatus designed to triturate balanced proportions of liquid mercury and metal alloy to produce silver amalgam restorative material. Trituration is the mechanical mixing of mercury and dental alloy resulting in their amalgamation. Amalgam mixers can be used with traditional capsules or premeasured sealed capsules. Traditional capsules are metal or plastic tubes in which dental practitioners can place measured amounts of alloy powder and liquid mercury. Premeasured sealed capsules contain pre-proportioned amounts of metal alloy and mercury that are separated by a non-reactive tin foil to prevent merging during the manufacturing process.
