title: [Amalgam fillings--tolerance].
abstract: Recently, there have been increasingly allegations on high health-risks of the dental filling material amalgam. This article focusses on the mercury exposure from amalgam for the dentist and the dental assistants, the patients and the general environment. Although an additional mercury exposure resulting from amalgam fillings can indeed be measured, it is of such low dimension that it cannot be considered as the cause of poisonings.
