Dental amalgam. II: Exposure to mercury
Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther Toxicol.
1991 Apr.
Abstract
The intraoral mercury concentration as well as the concentration in the expiratory air and in the saliva of patients with amalgams is higher than that of patients with no amalgam fillings. Test persons with amalgam fillings do not show significantly higher mercury values than test persons without amalgam fillings. However, the urine of persons who are exposed to mercury at work contains more mercury than that of people who are not.
