Depends how much current is involved, how long it is induced, and what type of material the fillings are made of.
Most tooth filings are made from either amalgam or a a glass based resin, so depending on the particular melting points of the materials used it depends... You'd have to achieve a pretty high overall temperature to melt any of the materials used for fillings, (in the several 1000's of degrees Celsius range) So yes the fillings may melt due to an intense prolonged electrical current, but there wont be any person left to associate them with.
We've got a huge incinerator at my medical school where we cremate the cadavers at the end of each semester and return the ashes to their loved ones, if that was their wishes prior to donating themselves. And their metal teeth, false hips, etc. are in basically fine condition after complete cremation of the body.

What if salt was added in with sand and iron fillings?
maybe it will melt
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is to large?
A fuse.
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large?
A fuse is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to other components.
What metal would not melt on mercury?
There are several such as Tungsten a metal used in electric bulbs.
Can you turn water into steam with electric spark?
Absolutely. It's the HEAT of the spark that does it. Electric sparks are so hot they'll melt steel.
Was there tooth brushes in the 1770's?
Nope they would of not had a mould to melt Plastic and they might of just used a stick and some salt
What is the number one concern in regards to electrical safety?
Earthing or Grounding is the most prime factor for any electrical/ electronics devices device to avoid any possible risk of electrical shock and proper neutral availability.The number one concern, is prevention of electric shock, which can kill.The secondary concern is prevention of fire. Short circuits draw massive amounts of current which can melt and set fire to the conductors.
How do you stop a toothache when the tooth is cracked?
I found something that works. Some one wrote that their grandmother said to take an aspirin and let it slowly melt next to the tooth; Allowing the medicine to come directly in contact with the infected tooth and gum, which kills the bacteria and helps to take the pain away. It works!
Why cant an electric fuse be replaced by electric wire?
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
What happens to an electric motor if it overheats?
The windings melt. Also may start a fire if surround conditions permit.
What is an electric tart warmer used for?
The purpose of an electric tart warmer is to burn or melt various types of scented candles to release their aroma without the need to have an open flame in the house.
How do you make a static ring so that when you touch someone with it it will give them and electric shock?
just get a ring of wire, put a rubber ring around your finger, then melt a long, flexy wire onto the metal ring,connect the long piece of wire to an electric switch, turn the switch on then touch some one with the ring (make sure not a bit of wire is touching you).(this is very dANGEROUS, FOR THE PERSON COULD BE BLASTED WITH 2000 VOLTS!!!!!!)
