[Dental amalgam and multiple sclerosis: what is the connection?].

BACKGROUND: There is some debate concerning a possible relationship between dental fillings and multiple sclerosis. Many patients ask their dentist to remove fillings. TOXICITY: Dental fillings contain mercury (more than 50%) which can cross the blood-brain barrier. Massive mercurial intoxication is neurotoxic both for the central and peripheral nervous system. Dental fillings release as much mercury in 24 hours as is ingested in a normal meal, i.e. a level well under the neurotoxicity level. RELATIONSHIP: Mercurial poisoning is histologically, clinically, immunologically, and toxicollogically different from multiple sclerosis. Based on data available today, it is not warranted to propose removing dental fillings.
