Effect of Dental Amalgam Silver Filling on Salivary Amylase Enzyme
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The largest source of mercury located in dental amalgam fillings people. In this study, mercury level in saliva of amalgam and non-amalgam human were compared as well as the level of α amylase has been detected. Materialsand methods: The concentration of mercury, silver, and activity of amylase in saliva were measured in 55 adult study subjects. The mercury contents were determined by cold–vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Results: The concentration of mercury in the serum was significantly higher in subjects with dental amalgam fillings (n = 25) compared to the non-amalgam group (n = 30) (p<0.01). The activity of α-amylase has significantly decreased in amalgam group.

Salivary Cells in Patients with Dental Amalgam and Composite Resin Material Restorations – a Morphological Investigation
Dental restorative materials have long-lasting contact with the oral cavity environment and may affect saliva composition. The aim of our study was to compare the composition and morphological activity of salivary cells in patients with amalgam and composite material restorations. Salivary smears of mixed non-stimulated saliva were prepared using typical histological methods. Oral epithelial an...

ackground and aim: It is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. Material and Methods: The Orthopantomogram (OPG) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3D modeled. The stress-deformation analysis ...
