چکیده

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa according to the world health organization (who), factors such as growing electricity demand, ever-advancing technologies and changes in social behaviour have led to steadily increasing exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields.   dental amalgam fillings are among the major sources of exposure to elemental mercury vapour in the general population. although it was previously believed that low levels are mercury (i.g. release of mercury from dental amalgam) is not hazardous, now numerous data indicate that even very low doses of mercury cause toxicity. there are some evidence indicating that perinatal exposure to mercury is significantly associated with an increased risk of developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (asd) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). furthermore, mercury can decrease the levels of neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, noreprenephrine, and acetylcholine in the brain and cause neurological problems. on the other hand, a strong positive correlation between maternal and cord blood mercury levels is found in some studies. we have previously shown that exposure to mri or microwave radiation emitted by common mobile phones can lead to increased release of mercury from dental amalgam fillings. moreover, when we investigated the effects of mri machines with stronger magnetic fields, our previous findings were confirmed. as a strong association between exposure to electromagnetic fields and mercury level has been found in our previous studies, our findings can lead us to this conclusion that maternal exposure to electromagnetic fields in mothers with dental amalgam fillings may cause elevated levels of mercury and trigger the increase in autism rates. further studies are needed   to have a   better understanding   of the  possible role of the increased mercury level after exposure to electromagnetic fields and the rate of autism spectrum disorders in the offspring. normal 0 false false false false en-us x-none ar-sa

Increased Mercury release due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation as a limiting factor for using dental amalgam

Background: Although it is one of the most toxic nonradioactive elements, mercury is widely used in dental amalgam. Mercury is a toxic element which can damage various organs such as central nervous system, renal, respiratory and hematologic systems. The adverse health impacts associated to exposure to some common sources of electromagnetic fields including laptop computers, mobile phones, ...

“Triple M” Effect: A Proposed Mechanism to Explain Increased Dental Amalgam Microleakage after Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation

A large body of evidence now indicates that the amount of mercury released from dental amalgam fillings can be significantly accelerated by exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) such as common mobile phones and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Studies performed on the increased microleakage of dental amalgam restorations after exposure to RF-EMFs have further supported th...
