Aren't mercury-based amalgam teeth fillings more durable than other techniques because the metal is more plastic that other fillings which are more brittle?
Last time I read about that, the risks for mercury exposure was for dentists, not patients.

Ceramic facets or ceramic crowns are more durable than amalgam fillings, as long as they are not used in a way that could fracture them, e.g. by attempting to crush nuts or the like with the teeth.
