This review is not all-inclusive and presents only a small portion of the vast published literature on the subject of the health effects of mercury in amalgam restorations. It appears clear, however, that, despite a plethora of well-designed studies, no definitive evidence exists showing that amalgam is a hazard to patients. Despite this fact and amalgam's long history of reliable, cost-effective use in dentistry, debate continues regarding the wisdom of using it as a restorative material. Given these concerns and the pressures being brought to bear on the dental profession to reduce the discharge of mercury into the environment, amalgam faces an uncertain future. Continuing to educate the public with the true facts about amalgam and its use remains the profession's best defense against the elimination of amalgam as a viable treatment option
