Abstract / Excerpt:

With great interest, we have read the article by Findik et al. entitled “Mercury concentration in maternal serum, cord blood, and placenta in patients withamalgam dental fillings: effects on fetal biometricmeasurements” that is published in the J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med, Early Online: 1–5, DOI: 10.3109/14767058.2016. 1140737. Findik et al. investigated the extent to  which mercury is transmitted from the mother to fetus via the umbilical cord in patients with  amalgam dental fillings, and its effect on fetal biometric measurements.
