There are 3 main restorative materials used to treat cavities: 1) Amalgam 2) Composite Resin 3) Porcelain
There is ample information online regarding dental filling materials. I would recommend doing a google search or going to www.ada.org as another resource.

There are a number of dental filling materials available, and you should consult with your dentist to discuss the pros and cons of each.
