Abstract

The claim that mercury from dental amalgam produces "reduced immunocompetence" was examined by measuring the levels of the three major populations of lymphocytes on 37 subjects--21 with amalgam restorations and 16 without. The results of this study show no indication that amalgam restorations affect the human immune system nor do they support the "reduced immunocompetence" claim.
