ADA's Dental Mercury Hygiene Recommendations The ADA lists a number of sources of mercury exposure at the dental office, including polishing or removal of amalgam. It also recommends that all personnel involved in the handling of mercury and dental amalgam be trained in the potential hazards of mercury vapor and the necessity of observing good mercury hygiene. Although limited in scope the ADA does strongly promote mercury-safe dentistry. This is a must read if you are considering doing all you can to minimize occupational exposure to mercury at the dental office.

Chronic neurobehavioural effects of elemental mercury in dentists These results raise the question as to whether the current threshold limit value of 0.050 mg/m3 (TWA) provides adequate protection against adverse effects of mercury.

Release of mercury from dental amalgam fillings in pregnant rats and distribution of mercury in maternal and fetal tissues. The placement of the single amalgam restoration (3.8--5.5 mg in weight) increased the levels of mercury approximately three to 6 times in the maternal brain, liver, lung, placenta and 20 times in the kidneys.

Chronic low-level mercury exposure, BDNF polymorphism, and associations with self-reported symptoms and mood. These results indicate that among DAs very low levels of occupational Hg degrees exposure are associated with increased symptoms. The BDNF polymorphism is also associated with increased symptom and mood scores.

Reproductive effects of occupational exposure to mercury on female workers in China Occupational exposure to mercury could cause dysfunction of the menstrual period, menstrual cycle, menstrual blood volume, as well as dysmenorrhea for female workers being exposed to mercury and inducing adverse reproductive outcomes, including pregnancy-induced hypertension, stillbirth, low birth weight and birth defects of their offspring.

Effect of occupational exposure to elemental mercury in the amalgam on thymulin hormone production among dental staff Results show that dentists and dental nurses have significant exposure to mercury vapor and point to the negative impact of mercury on thymus gland functions and confirm the implication that the nitric oxide pathway is a possible mechanism for this impact.

The effect of occupational exposure to mercury vapour on the fertility of female dental assistants. Women with high occupational exposure to mercury were less fertile than unexposed controls. The fecundability (probability of conception each menstrual cycle) of women who prepared 30 or more amalgams per week and who had five or more poor mercury hygiene factors was only 63% of that for unexposed women (95% CI 42%-96%) after controlling for covariates.

Occupational exposure to mercury vapour on genotoxicity and DNA repair Results show that the repair efficiencies for the workers were significantly lower than that of matched controls. In addition, the repair efficiency showed a consistent and significant decrease with the duration of occupational exposure to mercury associated with increase of cytogenetic damage.
