Is amalgam removal in patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms cost-effective? A prospective cohort and decision modelling study in Norway

Abstract: There are many patients in general practice with health complaints that cannot be medically explained. Some of these patients attribute their health complaints to dental amalgam restorations. This study examined the cost-effectiveness of the removal of amalgam restorations in patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) attributed to amalgam fillings compared to usual care, based on a prospective cohort study in Norway. Costs were determined using a micro-costing approach at the individual leve… Show more

“…They noted that there were limitations due to the small sample size and possible biases from the nonrandomized design. However, they were based on real program experience and offered reasonable evidence of the beneficial effects of removing dental amalgam in both short-and long-term perspectives in patients who attribute health complaints to dental amalgam restorations, which were consistent with other studies [31]. The Geier's, investigated the relationship between the number of dental amalgams and the incidence of arthritis in US adults ages 20-80 years old, also using the NHANES database between 2015-2016.…”

“…Jego właściwości przyczyniają się do tego, że chętnie jest wykorzystywany przez stomatologów do odbudowy zębów bocznych. Wypełnienie amalgamatowe zawiera około 50% rtęci oraz mieszaninę innych metali takich jak srebro, cyna, miedź i inne [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11]13,14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Amalgamaty niskomiedziowe wykazują mniejszą rozpuszczalność w kwasach niż amalgamaty wysokomiedziowe oraz niższą szybkość korozji, co sprawia że emisja par rtęci z wypełnień jest znacząco niższa [18].…”

“…Potwierdzeniem tej tezy może być fakt, że odnotowano wysoki poziom rtęci w mózgach zmarłych pacjentów z chorobami neurodegeneracyjnymi w porównaniu ze zdrowymi pacjentami z grupy kontrolnej. Metal ten może wiązać się z grupami tiolowymi α-tubuliny i β-tubuliny jednocześnie blokując proces neuroprzekaźnictwa [3,4,7,12,15,24,29]. Stosowanie amalgamatu dentystycznego u dzieci jest kwestią sporną, w jednym z przeglądów odnotowano znacznie wyższy poziom rtęci w moczu u dzieci z wypełnieniami amalgamatowymi w porównaniu z dziećmi z wypełnieniami z żywic kompozytowych, ale żaden z wyników nie zbliżył się do toksycznego poziomu rtęci.…”
