EFFECTS OF DENTAL TREATMENT DURING PREGNANCY ON CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

目的：评价妊娠期牙科治疗的潜在风险及其对儿童发育的影响。成果：我们最初研究了鱼类摄入量、怀孕期间的牙科治疗、女性口腔中汞合金填充物的数量和脐带汞含量之间的关系。我们随后意识到，绳子是由两台不同的机器分析的，测量结果有问题。我们曾希望进行测量的实验室能够解决这个问题，但他们显然丢失了关键的实验室书籍，其中包含了他们的方法如何根据已知标准进行测量的数据。因此，除非实验室能够纠正这种情况并使用问卷调查数据，否则我们已经放弃使用生物测量。

Aims: To evaluate the potential risks of dental treatment during pregnancy and effects on childhood development.Accomplishments: We originally had looked at the relationship between fish consumption, dental treatment during pregnancy and number of amalgams fillings in a woman's mouth and her umbilical cord mercury levels. We subsequently recognized that the cords had been analyzed by two different machines and there was something wrong with the measurement. We had hoped that the laboratory that did the measurements could straighten out the problem but they apparently lost the key laboratory books containing data on how their methods measured against a known standard. We therefore have abandoned using the biological measure unless the laboratory can rectify the situation and use questionnaire data instead.
