Dental 'amalgams':
"Dental amalgam is a mixture, rather than a true alloy, of mercury along with other metals like silver, tin, copper, and zinc. Cadmium, indium, palladium and lead were historically found in some amalgam products. Amalgams have been used in dentistry for over 150 years because they are malleable, durable, and more affordable than gold or composites."

Mind-altering substances such as mercury, lead, antimony and bismuth
Mercury and crap metal materials.
They are still basically made from mercury amalgam. Other more expensive alternatives are however available for those with concerns about mercury toxicity.
