...Dental amalgam as a potential source of mercury is a very controversial topic and views on Hg release from amalgam vary from the notion that there is no effect at all [Brownawell et al., 2005] to hypothesis that exposure to mercury from this source plays a role in the pathogenesis of theAlzheimer’s disease [Mutter et al....
