Comment:

This review suggests appropriate hygiene measures are adequate for handling mercury exposures from amalgam and that levels of mercury from amalgam are within an acceptable range.

Abstract / Excerpt:

“An evaluation of the data on the exposure of individuals with amalgam restorations results in the current conclusion that these levels are within the limiting values for mercury and should not present health hazard except to those individuals who have an allergic response to mercury.”
