LITERATURE REVIEW: DENTAL AMALGAM FILLINGS AND HEALTH EFFECTS ADA Council on Scientific Affairs I. Preface

چکیده
The last extensive review of the published literature relevant to amalgam safety was conducted by the Life Science Research Office (LSRO) and published in 2004. The LSRO expert panel report concluded that there was no consistent evidence of adverse health affects attributed to dental amalgam fillings. The panel noted that insufficient evidence was available on the topics of dental amalgam and: 1) antibiotic-resistance in human gut or oral flora; 2) pregnancy outcomes; and 3) co-exposure to organic and inorganic mercury. The Panel also noted the existence of several research gaps that, if filled, may definitively support or refute the hypothesis that dental amalgam adversely affects health.

Recently I reported on the methodology and machinations involved in vaccine-related injury cover-ups by the elitists in science and government at the Simpsonwood Conference on Thimerosal in vaccines. A new scandal has been recently released concerning the safety of mercury contained in dental amalgam, which is of equal magnitude and again showing the modus operandi of the government/elitist sci...

In 1840, the dental ssociation of the day argued over whether to use mercury as filling material because it was cheap, or to withdraw it ecause it was toxic. The safety debate had already begun and ould be called “Amalgam War I.” In the late 1920s, Dr Alfred tock, a biochemist and researcher,...

In developing an opinion on mercury toxicity from exposures to dental amalgam and thimerosal I have reviewed toxicologic data relevant to animal and human studies to environmental mercury, methylmercury, thimerosal and exposure to mercury from amalgam fillings. I have reviewed literature searches conducted on various computerized databases; evaluated published literature on primary studies as r...
متن کاملDental amalgam and mercury in dentistry.
Mercury in dentistry has re-emerged as a contentious issue in public health, predominantly because so many people are inadvertently exposed to mercury in order to obtain the benefits of dental amalgam fillings, and the risks remain difficult to interpret. This commentary aims to examine the issues involved in public policy assessment of the continued use of dental amalgam in dentistry. More tha...

BACKGROUND Mercury vapor poses a known health risk with no clearly established safe level of exposure. Consequently there is debate over whether the level of prolonged exposure to mercury vapor from dental amalgam fillings, combining approximately 50% mercury with other metals, is sufficiently high to represent a risk to health. The objective of our study is to determine if mercury exposure fro...
