Abstract / Excerpt:

With great interest, we have read the article by Shahidi et al1 entitled “Effect of magnetic resonance imaging on microleakage of amalgam restorations: an in vitro study” that is published in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology. The first report on the role of exposure to MRI or microwave radiation emitted by mobile phones in enhancing the release of mercury from dental amalgam restoration waspublished in 2008.2
