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
Dental amalgam and multiple sclerosis: a case-control study in Montreal, Canada
Dieudonné Bangsi,Parviz Ghadirian,Slobodan Ducic,Richard Morisset,Sébastien Ciccocioppo,Ed McMullen,Daniel Krewski +6 more
TL;DR: A suggestive elevated risk of multiple sclerosis was found for those individuals with a large number of dental amalgams, and for a long period of time, the difference between cases and controls was not statistically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the immune system and systemic immune-complex deposits in Brown Norway rats with dental amalgam restorations.
TL;DR: It is concluded that dental amalgam restorations release substantial amounts of their elements, which accumulate in the organs and which, in genetically susceptible rats, give rise to activation of the immune system and systemic IC deposits.
Release of mercury from dental amalgam and its influence on salivary antioxidant activity.
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation between salivary mercury levels and total antioxidant activity (TAA), used as an index of oxidative stress, was found in both male and female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuron loss in cerebellar cortex of rats exposed to mercury vapor: a stereological study.
TL;DR: It is suggested that metallic mercury vapor and methyl mercury have different toxicological profiles in rats, where metallic mercury Vapor mainly affects the central nervous system and methyl Mercury mainly affectsThe peripheral nervous system.
Journal Article
Entry of low doses of mercury vapor into the nervous system.
Roger Pamphlett,Coote P +1 more
TL;DR: Low doses of mercury vapor, well within WHO guidelines for safe human occupational exposure, enter and remain within motor neurons of mice.
