Best Answer

DO amalgam is a type of restoration used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by dental decay or a fracture.

Amalgam is the material used, commonly called "silver fillings".

DO refers to the surfaces of the tooth that the amalgam will occupy.

D = distal (think 'back'.) O = occlusal (think 'biting')

Therefore, this is a two surface silver filling.
