<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Dental amalgam fillings release mercury (Hg) as elemental Hg vapour, which is readily absorbed (80%) when inhaled. Furthermore, some mercury is dissolved in saliva or swallowed as amalgam particles, a small fraction of which is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. In populations with many amalgam fillings, these constitute the major source of exposure to inorganic mercury. The variation between people in Hg uptake from amalgam fillings is, however, poorly described. The authors report three cases with high absorption of Hg from their dental amalgam fillings</abstract>
