that i have one amalgam filling that is starting to decay and get sticky, and it is at least 20 years old.
he did say that if i were to replace it with the toothy white composites, i could expect that i would be needing to replace it every 5 years or so. you are correct in that the composites are more brittle and can seperate from the enamel allowing new decay or chips in the composite.
i haven't had any issues with my old amalgam fillings, mind you, i don't have a mouthful yet. when i replace this filling dentist said i will need a crown on that tooth, so it's not such an issue for me as to which to go with, although i wouldn't have any issue with replacing a filling with the same material again.
