As biologically-minded dentists, we strive to achieve all the goals of modern dentistry while treading as lightly as possible on our patients’ biological terrain. So while we work to maximize strength, durability, comfort and esthetics, we seek to minimize toxicity, immune reactivity, and galvanic stress. [See also the related article, "Oral Medicine, Dental Toxicology"] The [...]
Here is the latest in a line of articles that refute the conclusions of the CAT studies, that amalgam is safe for children, written by one of the original authors. The last line of this abstract, downplaying the effect of dental amalgam on the subjects' mercury exposure, belies the fact that the CAT studies [...]
