Gold
Advantages:
-
Durability - lasts at least 10 to 15 years, usually
longer; doesn't corrode
- Strength
- can withstand chewing forces
- Aesthetics
- some patients find gold more pleasing to the eye
than silver, amalgam fillings
Disadvantages:
-
Expense - more than other materials; up to 10 times
higher than cost of amalgam fillings
- Additional
office visits - requires at least two office visits
to place
- Galvanic
shock - a gold filling placed immediately next to
a silver, amalgam filling can cause a sharp pain (galvanic
shock) to occur. The interaction between the metals
and saliva causes an electric current to occur - it's
a rare occurrence, however
- Aesthetics
- most patients don't find any "colored"
fillings to be an "eye-pleasing" advantage
