Swedish Dental Material Commission recommends amalgam be banned
CategoriesDental amalgam, containing the highly toxic metal mercury, has been in use for decades. Opponents of the use of amalgam run into "stiff opposition" from dentists' associations all over the world which are claiming that the toxic substance is firmly bound in the tooth fillings and cannot cause illness.
Now there is an official government report from Sweden which settles the matter. The recommendation: Ban the use of mercury in tooth fillings.
Mercury Poisoning from Dental Amalgam
The Swedish Dental Material Commission has ended its work and recommends amalgam be banned:
The Dental Material Commission –– Care and Consideration' assigned Maths Berlin, in autumn 2002, to report on the past five years' research literature on amalgam and the health hazards, if any, of mercury.
Maths Berlin is a Professor Emeritus with long experience of the effects of mercury on animals and humans. He chaired the WHO Task Group on Environmental Health Criteria for Inorganic Mercury (WHO Environmental Health Criteria 118, 1991) and a similar group with the function of drawing up health criteria for methylmercury. Professor Berlin compiled the environmental medicine risk analysis of mercury and amalgam issued by the Swedish Council for Planning and Coordination of Research (FRN) in 1998
(FRN, Report 1998:22).This risk analysis was based on literature published between 1993 and November 1997. The present risk analysis builds further on this material, and analyses literature published between November 1997 and November 2002.
