[No connection between the number of amalgam fillings and health. Epidemiological observations from a population study of women in Gothenburg].
Number of dental amalgam fillings and baseline serum mercury concentration were assessed with respect to a number of health related variables as part of a population study of women. There was no increased incidence of symptoms, no derangement of laboratory variables of clinical significance, nor any increased mortality or increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes or cancer in women with many amalgam fillings compared with those with few fillings, nor in women with higher serum mercury concentration compared with those with lower serum mercury concentration.
