Berdasarkan artikel yang saya baca, most people in Franch are living with mercury fillings, technically known as dental amalgam fillings, allegedly responsible for certain neurogical or auto-immune disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Saat ini, material yang sering digunakan untuk menambal gigi adalah amalgam, termasuk Indonesia, dimana dalam campuran amalgam terdapat kandungan merkuri yang cukup berbahaya.
Some countries—Sweden and Norway, Denmark and Germany, have banned or restricted the use of mercury fillings. But not France or the UK. In a preliminary report, published online in July, the company tasked with the study, Bio Intelligence Service, recommended phasing out mercury in dental care in Europe.
"The first measure should be to ban [mercury] amalgams," kata Marie Grosman, scientific adviser for the Non au Mercure Dentaire organisation and a member of the Réseau Environnement et Santé (RES) organisation.
Menurut Grosman, "mercury passes through the placenta because dental mercury is found in the umbilical cord and in the developing child's organs".
Jadi, apa alternatif amalgam? Ceramic inlays disebutkan dalam artikel tersebut, namun prioritas yang utama adalah mencegah gigi berlubang.
