What do planes, trains, automobiles, rotted teeth and broken sewer pipes have in common?Well today they’re all being made or repaired faster, cheaper and better thanks to significant advances in composite resin technologies.<\/p>\n
If there are photos of you running around in the 60s wearing fluro bell-bottoms and flowers in your hair, then chances are there was amalgam glistening away in your teeth! Despite the poor aesthetics and the glaringly obvious statement the shiny silver gap filler made about our dental flaws it was strong, safe and sturdy and they told us it was the bee’s knees for bogging up those nasty little cavities the all-day suckers gave us.<\/p>\n
But in recent years concerns over the look and possible health implications of the amalgam have prompted many to head back to the dentist and get them replaced with much more flattering composite resin (white) fillings.<\/p>\n
In fact, composite resin technologies are now being used to improve almost everything from cars to hockey sticks, and bridges to train-track sleepers.<\/p>\n
