In 2017, researchers Ulf Bengtsson and Lars Hylander had an article published about high copper amalgam and increased mercury vapor emission. This entry from the Atlas of Science offers an overview about the research and its implications. Click here to read more about the research.
In February 2016, the research article “What Is the Risk? Dental Amalgam, Mercury Exposure, and Human Health Risks Throughout the Life Span” was published in the Springer textbook, Epigenetics, the Environment, and Children’s Health Across Lifespans. It is written by John Kall, DMD, MIAOMT, Chairperson of the IAOMT Board of Directors, Amanda Just, Program Director [...]
Kristin G. Homme, Janet K. Kern, Boyd E. Haley, David A. Geier, Paul G. King, Lisa K. Sykes, Mark R. Geier BioMetals, February 2014, Volume 27, Issue 1, pp 19-24, Abstract: Mercury dental amalgam has a long history of ostensibly safe use despite its continuous release of mercury vapor. Two key studies known as the [...]

Houston Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, USA Director, Hypertension Institute and Vascular Biology, USA Medical Director, Division of Human Nutrition, Saint Thomas Medical Group, Saint Thomas Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee, USA J Cardiovasc Dis Diagn 2014, 2:5 Abstract Mercury toxicity is highly correlated with hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), [...]
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 [...]
A significant dose-dependent relationship between mercury exposure from dental amalgams and kidney integrity biomarkers: A further assessment of the Casa Pia children’s dental amalgam trial DA Geier, T Carmody, JK Kern, PG King and MR Geier Human and Experimental Toxicology 32(4) 434–440. 2013. Abstract Dental amalgams are a commonly used dental restorative material. Amalgams are [...]

Examination of neurobehavioral and genetic information gathered from 330 of the children in the Casa Pia "Children's Amalgam Trial" study showed that genetic variances influenced susceptibility to the toxic effects of mercury. Boys with the CPOX4 gene had significantly worse performance than those with the normal gene, while girls did not show this effect. View [...]
Completing a trifecta of refutation for the CAT studies, joining previous papers showing dose dependent effects of amalgam mercury on porphyrin metabolism and neurobehavioral performance, a new paper by David Geier et. al. shows exposure to mercury from amalgam is directly correlated with urinary mercury in children. Hum Exp Toxicol. 2012 Jan;31(1):11-7. Epub 2011 [...]
Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology 2011, 6:2 doi:10.1186/1745-6673-6-2 Abstract: It was claimed by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR)) in a report to the EU-Commission that "....no risks of adverse systemic effects exist and the current use of dental amalgam does not pose a risk of systemic disease..." SCENIHR disregarded [...]
