A STUDY ON THE RELEASE OF MERCURY FROM DENTAL AMALGAMS MADE FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURED MATERIALS SHOWED EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF MERCURY RELEASED FROM AMALGAM
Urinary Porphyrin Profile: A Quantitative and Qualitative Laboratory Indicator of Mercury Toxicity by John Wilson, MD Physicians experienced in mercury detoxification have long been in need of reliable laboratory markers that quantitatively and qualitatively determine which individuals are mercury toxic. Identification of the endpoint of mercury detoxification has also long been in need of objective [...]

This is the famous "White Paper" presented by the FDA dental division staff to the Scientific Advisory Panel in September, 2006, purporting to represent the available scientific literature on mercury exposure from amalgam dental fillings, and which supported the notion of amalgam safety. The panel ultimately voted 13-7 to reject the idea that the literature [...]
In an in-depth review of studies that support the safety of amalgam, some prominent German authors find that they are rife with methodological errors in basic toxicology.

In IAOMT's ongoing examination of the toxicological data on fluoride, the Academy has made several preliminary determinations over the last 18 years, each concluding that fluoride added to the public water supply, or prescribed as controlled-dose supplements, delivers no discernible health benefit, and causes a higher incidence of adverse health effects.

In 2006, the Journal of the American Medical Association published two articles that have been widely regarded as proving that amalgam dental fillings are safe for children: Timothy A. Rouen, et. Al., Neurobehavioral effects of dental amalgam in children, JAMA 295(15): 1784-92. 2006. David C. Bellinger, et. al., Neuropsychological and renal effects of dental amalgam [...]
A widely read "quackbuster" blog claims that the "Smoking Teeth" video shows water vapor instead of mercury coming off the amalgam filling. Drs. Vimy, Haley, Eichman, and Kennedy explain why that's all wet! Quackbuster's Analysis of “Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas” Video Fails Scientific Scrutiny M.J. Vimy, DDS, B.E. Haley, PhD, R.
