Mercury alloy used in dental fillings (7)

I believe the answer is:

amalgam

(Other definitions for amalgam that I've seen before include "mercurial combination" , "combination of things" , "Alloy of mercury and another metal" , "Mercury alloy - combination" , "Blend or combination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
