Abstract

Dental offices are one of the most frequently referenced sources of mercury added to public sewer systems; their contribution comes in the form of dental amalgam. Environmental agencies continue to develop regulations, outreach programs or both on a state and local basis that encourage or, in some areas, require dental offices to install amalgam separators. A dental office’s waste infrastructure and office procedures can affect the choice of an amalgam separator. Dental teams also will encounter important differences in operating and maintaining separator units properly.
