I have a question about nano-ORMOCER fillings, particularly Admira Fusion from VOCO.
It is a material based on silicon oxide and nano particles, it also contains silicic acid.
My concern is that the nano particles would leak or out gas from the filling similarly to how amalgam fillings leak mercury.
I'm a bit afraid of the nano particles causing damage, potentially crossing the blood brain barrier as well.

I'll include links for further details.

Nano only refers to the size of the particles. Most composites have nano-sized particles for increased strength. There is no evidence that they cause any health issues. Similarly for amalgam.
