Journal ArticleDOI
The role of thiols, dithiols, nutritional factors and interacting ligands in the toxicology of mercury.
TL;DR: The issue of diagnostic testing for chronic, historical or low dose mercury poisoning is considered including an analysis of the influence of ligand interactions and nutritional factors upon the accuracy of "chelation challenge" tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the clinical toxicity of mercury.
Laszlo Magos,Thomas W. Clarkson +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to survey differences in human exposure and in the toxicology of different forms of mercury to study subclinical effects in population studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is dental amalgam safe for humans? The opinion of the scientific committee of the European Commission
TL;DR: It was claimed by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in a report to the EU-Commission that "....no risks of adverse systemic effects exist and the current use of dental amalgam does not pose a risk of systemic disease..."
Journal ArticleDOI
Amalgam studies: disregarding basic principles of mercury toxicity.
TL;DR: A number of studies are methodically flawed drawing inaccurate conclusions as to the safety of dental amalgam, considering the newest findings on mercury toxicity and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential adverse health effects of dental amalgam.
Amy M. Brownawell,Stanley Berent,Robert L. Brent,James V. Bruckner,John Doull,Eric Gershwin,Ronald D. Hood,Genevieve M. Matanoski,Raphael Rubin,Bernard Weiss,Meryl H. Karol +10 more
TL;DR: This review has uncovered no convincing evidence pointing to any adverse health effects that are attributable to dental amalgam restorations besides hypersensitivity in some individuals.

Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury inductions in persons with subjective symptoms alleged to dental amalgam fillings.
TL;DR: The results do not support that short-term exposure to low doses of Hg vapour in general promotes clinical illness in subjects who themselves suspect "amalgam disease", but the deviating reactions presented by two test persons may support the theory that occasional individuals can be sensitive to very low dosesof Hg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal induction of tolerance to T(h)2-mediated autoimmunity in rats.
Anne-Christine Field,Laure Caccavelli,Jacqueline Fillion,Joëlle Kuhn,Chantal Mandet,Philippe Druet,B. Bellon +6 more
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that dominant specific tolerance can be neonatally induced using a chemical otherwise responsible for T(h)2-mediated autoimmunity in naive, slightly irradiated, syngeneic recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute exposure to mercury from amalgam: no short-time effect on the peripheral blood lymphocytes in healthy individuals
TL;DR: Evaluated if an acute low-dose mercury exposure, achieved by total amalgam removal in 10 healthy individuals, would affect the immunocompetent cells in human blood when the mercury level in blood and plasma was increasing, no significant influence on the peripheral blood lymphocytes could be detected.
Influence of amalgam fillings on Hg levels and total antioxidant activity in plasma of healthy donors.
Maria Pizzichini,M Fonzi,Alberto Gasparoni,Marzia Mencarelli,G Rocchi,V Kaitsas,Luciano Fonzi +6 more
TL;DR: Hg plasma concentration was found to be correlated with the number of amalgam fillings, suggesting that Hg released from fillings is a source of Hg in non-occupational exposed subjects and P-FRAP correlated negatively with P-Hg suggesting a pro-oxidant role of the Hg release from amalgam Fillings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous downregulation of antibody/autoantibody synthesis in susceptible mice upon chronic exposure to mercuric chloride is not owing to a general immunosuppression.
TL;DR: The findings show that the autoregulation of mercury‐induced immune/autoimmune responses observed after chronic treatment with mercury is not owing to a general immunosuppression.
