| Abstract: | The findings presented here suggest that mercury from dental amalgam may play a role in the etiology of oral cavity health. Comparisons between subjects with and without amalgam showed significant differences of diseases of the mouth. Subjects who had amalgams removed reported that symptoms of diminished oral health were improved or eliminated after removal. The data suggest that inorganic mercury from dental amalgam does affect the oral cavity. |
