 Intra-oral Air Mercury Released from Dental Amalgam Comparison of Mercury vapor found in mouths of people with and without amalgam fillings. |

Mercury in saliva and feces after removal of amalgam fillings. The mercury amount in saliva and feces was tested before and after amalgam filling removal in 10 subjects. |
3245 |

Mercury in biological fluids after amalgam removal. The study obtained data on changes in Hg levels in blood, plasma, and urine following removal of all amalgam fillings during one dental session in 12 healthy subjects. |

Mercury, selenium, and glutathione peroxidase in dental personnel. Eighteen persons, dentists and nurses, with urinary mercury levels higher than the group median value of all dental personnel in the country of Västerbotten were compared with a group consisting of 15 persons with low urinary mercury levels working in the same clinics. |

Systemic transfer of mercury from amalgam fillings before and after cessation of emission. In 29 volunteers with a low amalgam load, concentrations of total mercury were measured in plasma and erythrocytes as well as in urine together with the excretion rate. |

A case of high mercury exposure from dental amalgam. This report describes a patient who suffered from several complaints, which by herself were attributed to her amalgam fillings. |

People with high mercury uptake from their own dental amalgam fillings. The objective of this study was to describe people with high mercury (Hg) uptake from their amalgam fillings, and to estimate the possible fraction of the occupationally unexposed Swedish population with high excretion of urinary Hg in 3 cases. |

Speciation of mercury excreted in feces from individuals with amalgam fillings. Investigators established methods for the analysis of total mercury (Hg-total), oxidized mercury and mercury bound to sulfhydryl groups (Hg-S), mercury vapor (Hg0), and mercury from amalgam particles (APs) in fecal samples. |

The relationship between mercury concentration in human organs and different predictor variables. Samples from different tissues were collected from autopsies of individuals of the general population of the Stockholm area, Sweden. The samples were analysed for total mercury. |

Mercury levels in plasma and urine after removal of all amalgam restorations: the effect of using rubber dams. The aim of the study was to determine whether removal of all amalgam restorations might significantly affect mercury levels in plasma and urine and whether the use of rubber dams might reduce patient exposure to mercury during amalgam removal. |

Long-term mercury excretion in urine after removal of amalgam fillings. The long-term urinary mercury excretion was determined in 17 28- to 55-year-old persons before and at varying times (up to 14 months) after removal of all (4-24) dental amalgam fillings. |
2969 |

Long-term use of chewing gum and mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings. The study was investigated the influence of long-term frequent chewing on mercury levels in plasma and urine. |
2734 |

Mass balance and systemic uptake of mercury released from dental amalgam fillings In this study, the emission rate of Hg-vapor from the oral cavity and the urinary Hg-excretion rate have been studied with 34 healthy individuals. |

Exposure and Health Effects from Amalgam Fillings Mercury exposure of most people with fillings was found to exceed government health standards and to cause adverse health effects. |
2739 |

Urinary mercury after administration of 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid: correlation with dental amalgam score. This study determines the influence of dental amalgams on the mercury body burden of humans. |
2637 |
| 16 |
Mercury exposure from "silver" tooth fillings: emerging evidence questions a traditional dental paradigm. Silver amalgam has been the preferred filing material for years. But medical research has demonstrated that this Hg is continuously released as vapor into mouth air and then inhaled. |
2632 |
| 17 |
Correlation of cytotoxicity with element release from mercury- and gallium-based dental alloys in vitro. An in vitro screening test was used to compare the cytotoxicity and elemental release from mercury- and gallium-based dental restorative materials. |

The dental amalgam issue. A review. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the current position in the dental amalgam controversy and the potential impact of amalgam mercury on human health are reviewed. |

Quantitative analysis of Hg, Ag, Sn, Cu, Zn and trace elements in amalgam removed from an abutment tooth underneath a gold alloy bridge that had been in vivo for nine plus years. The author decided to have a sample of amalgam tested after a gold alloy bridge that had been in vivo for 9+ years came loose and fell out of his mouth. |

Toxicological aspects on the release and systemic uptake of mercury from dental amalgam. This paper summarizes some recent reports on mercury release from amalgam fillings and resulting concentrations in biological fluids, development of antibiotic resistance, and kidney function. |
2666 |
| 21 |
Mercury accumulation in tissues from dental staff and controls in relation to exposure. Samples, mainly from occipital cortex and pituitary gland, but also from rental cortex, olfactory bulbs, thyroid gland and liver were collected from autopsies of 8 dental staff cases and 27 controls. |

Serial measurements of intra-oral air mercury: estimation of daily dose from dental amalgam. Serial measurements of Hg concentration in intra-oral air were made during and after chewing stimulation in 35 subjects with occlusal amalgam restorations. |
2713 |
| 23 |
Mercury exposure of different origins among dentists and dental nurses. Mercury exposure was studied among dental personnel with the use of urinary mercury excretion rates and questionnaires. |
