If I had to pick only one answer, I'd choose amalgam filling....

Gold crown and amalgam filling are most radiopaque.

Gold may be the most radiopaque. But the most important factor is "thickness of substance". Generally, in clinical x-ray, amalgam filling may be the most radiopaque because of its thickness in cavity width
