Dental amalgam and mercury



JR Mackert Jr
Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta 30912-1264.

This paper looks at the issues of the current amalgam controversy: the daily dose of mercury from amalgam, hypersensitivity to mercury, claims of adverse effects from amalgam mercury and alleged overnight "cures." In addition, the toxicity and allergenicity of the proposed alternative materials are examined with the same kind of scrutiny applied by the anti-amalgam group to dental amalgam.
