Do ALL silver fillings contain mercury?

    It's possible that silver alloys are sometimes used to cast inlays,
but for all intents and purposes, "silver" fillings are silver amalgam.
An amalgam is a metallic solution, one of who's components is mercury.
Mixed amalgam usually contains slightly north of 50% mercury by weight.
Besides silver and mercury, most alloys also contain tin, and perhaps
zinc and copper.

Are those crowns and inlays that were placed from 1978 - 198? (when gold was
$1000/oz) considered low gold silver alloys or high silver gold alloys?
