牙科修复材料汞合金-由大约50%的汞组成-已经使用了几个世纪。虽然汞合金的许多替代品已经存在或正在开发中,但其机械、惰性、耐用和成本效益高的特性意味着,汞合金在全球范围内仍然是牙科实践中的主要填充材料。目前的专家意见是,在临床环境中,汞合金是安全的,经过充分测试,临床研究表明汞合金填充物不会对健康产生不利影响。然而,根据《水俣公约》,汞合金的使用正在逐步减少。更重要的是,尽管废物处理方法已经有了很大的发展,但牙科汞的最终环境归宿并没有得到充分的描述;此外,环境中由于历史上的不良做法而产生的汞的数量在很大程度上仍然是未知的。本综述概述了现代牙科诊所如何管理和处置汞。讨论了牙科应用中汞消费量的最新最佳估计值,并与全球汞消费总量进行了比较。最终的环境汇的金属被确定和目前采用的方法来处理的产品是高度有害的环境和人类健康的描述。重点关注环境上具有移动的和剧毒的烷基汞化合物,还概述了废物管理不善可能产生的一些环境影响。
Dental restorative material mercury amalgam - which is composed of approximately 50% mercury - has been used for centuries. Although many alternatives to amalgam are available or under development, its mechanical, inert, durable and cost-effective properties mean that globally it is still the predominant filling material in dental practices. Current expert opinion is that, in a clinical setting, amalgam is safe and well tested, with clinical studies revealing no adverse health effects to amalgam fillings. Nevertheless, in line with the Minamata convention, the use of mercury amalgam is being phased down. More significantly, although waste disposal methods have developed considerably, the ultimate environmental fate of dental mercury is not fully delineated; furthermore, the amount of mercury in the environment from historical poor practice is still largely unknown. In this review an overview of how mercury is managed and disposed of in modern dental clinics is provided. Recent best estimates for mercury consumption in dental applications are discussed and compared to total global mercury consumption. The ultimate environmental sinks for the metal are identified and the methods currently employed to process products that are highly deleterious to the environment and human health are described. With a focus on environmentally mobile and highly toxic alkyl mercury compounds, some of the possible environmental implications that could occur with poor waste management are also outlined.
