title: [The toxicity of mercury in amalgam dental fillings].
abstract: 1. A survey on the literature concerning the toxicity of amalgam is presented. 2. Opinions from various sources are discussed. It is found that there are no conclusive experimental results of clinical importance. Existing results on adults cannot be applied to children, who are more sensitive to amalgam. 3. Research into the toxicity of amalgam in children has begun. Results are expected later in 1992.
