March 21, 2013 -- A common test used to determine mercury exposure from dental amalgam restorations may significantly overestimate the amount of the toxic metal released from these fillings, according to University of Michigan researchers (Environmental Science & Technology, March 20, 2013).
Scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings slowly release mercury vapor into the mouth. But both the amount of mercury released and the question of whether this exposure presents a significant health risk remain controversial, the study authors noted.
