Dental amalgam fillings containing approximately 50% mercury have been used for almost 200 years and have been controversial for almost the same time. Allegations of effects caused by amalgams have involved many diseases. Amalgam is one of the most popular dental restoratives, but concerns exist over its safety because of the mercury in its formulation. Small amounts of mercury are released from dental amalgam by vaporization and dissolution. More serious actions to drastically reduce mercury sources by employing alternative energy sources, restricting mercury trade and banning various mercury containing consumer products, such as dental amalgam are as essential as cleaning up the historical deposits of mercury in the basin. A strong political will and mass momentum are crucial for efficient mercury management. Recent evidence that small amounts of mercury are continuously released from amalgam fillings has fuelled the controversy. The purpose of this article is to create awareness among the people handling mercury so that better strategies can be developed to manage this hazardous waste and to protect the society from toxic effects of mercury.
