    Part of my tooth filling chipped off as single piece.
    Want to glue back, thinking to use sikaflex, tigerseal or gorilla glue.

    Anything else I can use?

    Would you not just use isopon and repaint?

    There is an across the counter tooth repair product, maybe try that.

    Polyfila and a coat of varnish ought to do it.

    Try this, if it doesn’t work, maybe visit a dentist.

    Not sure if OP serious but he made valid points. Perhaps sikaflex less harmful than mercury.

    Potential Risks of Dental Amalgam:

    Releases low levels of mercury in the form of a vapor that can be inhaled and absorbed by the lungs. Exposure to high levels of mercury vapor, which may occur in some occupational settings, has been associated with adverse effects in the brain and the kidney.

    You think using silkaflex to repair a tooth is a valid point?

    I will go with dinitrol, more flexible and when chewing gives some shock absorption
