Field Testing Observations of Six Models and Practical Considerations in Choosing an Amalgam Separator
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) field-tested six commercially available dental amalgam separators over a six to eight month period in 2003 – 2004 in Vermont dental practices. The objective of the study was to gather first-hand information and experience with the installation and operational issues regarding amalgam separators over the course of the pilot.
The report includes a list of considerations and recommendations on choosing an amalgam separator, product specifications, descriptions of the amalgam separators in the pilot, and unit cost information.
