ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a dental amalgamator which prevents mercury vapor, given off during amalgamation, from polluting the air in the neighborhood of the amalgamator. The amalgamator comprises a casing carrying a capsule holder and a drive means for the holder, a lid movable to a closed position in which it cooperates with the casing to form an enclosure for a capsule held by the holder, the enclosure having air inlets allowing air to flow from the atmosphere into the enclosure. A vacuum pump is arranged to communicate with the enclosure via a mercury filter medium, so that during amalgamation air is drawn into the enclosure, over the capsule, and then through the mercury filter where mercury vapors are removed.
