Background and Aim: In children requiring general anesthesia for dental care, a number of teeth are treated with amalgam in one session. The aim of this study was to compare the post – amalgam filling urinary mercury levels of children treated consciously vs. unconsciously. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trail research a group of 15 children requiring the usual tooth amalgam filling in office (group A) and the other group with 15 uncooperative children requiring general anesthesia for dental treatment (group B) were selected. All research conditions were made equal for both groups. The morning urine of each child was collected and coded at three time: before treatment, 4 days after treatment and 9 – 12 days after treatment. The urinary mercury levels were measured by the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric method. Data were subjected to t – pair test, Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan analyses. Results: The urinary mercury levels showed a significant increase in both groups post – treatment and during the sampling times (P<0.05). The amount of increase was more in group A as compare with group B (P<0.05). No significant relationship was found between the urinary mercury levels and sex, age, weight, the number of amalgam units and amalgam filled – tooth surfaces. Conclusion: Mercury absorption following tooth amalgam filling under general anesthesia is significantly less than that of in - office treatment. Key words: General anesthesia - Mercury - Amalgam - Pediatric dentistry

BACKGROUND Urinary mercury (U-Hg) excretion is a commonly used biomarker for mercury exposure from dental amalgam restorations. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to determine the most efficient measure of dental amalgam exposure for use in analyses concerning U-Hg in children. METHODS We analyzed time-sensitive longitudinal amalgam exposure data in children randomized to amalgam restorations (n = 267...

Introduction: Amalgam, which can be applied with or without dowel, is one of the commonly used restorative materials for core restoration in pulpless teeth. The current study aimed to compare the shear strength of amalgam cores with and without dowel. Methods: A total number of 20 recently extracted mandibular premolars were assigned to two groups of 10 equal s...

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولMercury Exposure Levels in Children with Dental Amalgam Fillings
OBJECTIVES Mercury combined with other metals to form solid amalgams has long been used in reconstructive dentistry but its use has been controversial since at least the middle of the 19th century. The exposure and body burden of mercury reviews have consistently stated that there is a deficiency of adequate epidemiological studies addressing this issue. Fish and dental amalgam are two major so...
