Abstract / Excerpt:
During counselling, the patient should be advised that, according to evidence from randomized clinical trials, dental amalgam does not result in toxic effects and that replacement of amalgam fillings with nonmercury materials is not recommended. A precautionary approach could include avoiding dental amalgam work during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, although no clinical evidence supports this recommendation.
