Removing amalgam fillings from patients with a history of health complaints dramatically reduced the number of complaints, according to a small study in Acta Odontologica Scandinavica (July 2, 2012).
“Some patients attribute health complaints to amalgam fillings and report improvement of health after replacement of amalgam fillings,” wrote the study authors, from Uni Research in Norway. “The aim of the present study was to characterize the changes of different health complaints after replacement of amalgam fillings and compare with an external reference group from the general population.”
