该项目的数据表明，牙科汞合金的咬合面数量与大脑中的汞含量呈正相关（在白色物质中p<0.0025）。这是一个间接证据，表明牙科汞合金填充物中的汞可能会增加大脑中汞的体内负荷。汞在人体组织中的毒性水平尚未得到充分调查，牙科汞合金在人脑组织中的汞含量可能具有或不具有临床意义。然而，在监测人脑组织中汞积累的来源时，应考虑牙科汞合金暴露。
Data from this project demonstrate a positive correlation between the number of occlusal surfaces of dental amalgam and mercury levels in the brain (p< .0025 in white matter). This is indirect evidence suggesting that mercury from dental amalgam fillings may contribute to the body burden of mercury in the brain. The toxic levels of mercury in human tissues have not been sufficiently investigated and the amount of mercury in human brain tissue from dental amalgam may or may not be clinically significant. Nevertheless, dental amalgam exposure should be considered in monitoring sources of mercury accumulation in human brain tissue.
