The dental amalgam issue. A review.

M Hanson, J Pleva

    Experientia
    |January 15, 1991
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dental amalgam fillings can release mercury at levels exceeding safety thresholds, potentially impacting human health. An interdisciplinary approach is crucial for understanding mercury

    Area of Science:

    • Dental materials science
    • Toxicology
    • Neurology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • The dental amalgam controversy involves ongoing debate regarding its safety.
    • Potential health impacts of mercury released from amalgam fillings require thorough investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current understanding of the dental amalgam controversy.
    • To assess the potential impact of amalgam mercury on human health through an interdisciplinary lens.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of materials science, corrosion, mercury exposure, toxicology, neurology, and immunology.
    • Presentation of new in vivo data on mercury exposure from corroded amalgam fillings.
    • Measurement of mercury absorption from intraoral air.

    Main Results:

    • Mercury exposure from corroded amalgam fillings can exceed established threshold limit values.
    • Significant mercury absorption can occur from intraoral air.
    • Avoiding galvanic amalgam-gold coupling is critical.

    Conclusions:

    • An interdisciplinary approach is essential for addressing the dental amalgam issue.
    • Amalgam mercury should be considered a potential factor in neurological and immunological diseases of unclear etiology.
    • Learning from historical cases like acrodynia is important.
