unbelievable result. Had the patients or had the dentist embellished the results? I do not believe From 1972-1993 (5 years internship and 16 years of my own practice) amalgam was by far the most prevalent dental filling material used by me (in the side tooth area). Different reasons led me particularly "amalgam-sensitive" group? On the to abandon use of this material in the spring of following graph, based on the " Kieler Amalgam- 1994. An amalgam-critical work which had Gutachten 1997 ", the distribution of the appeared in the FASEB journal in 1989 (Hahn et differently sensitive groups of a population is al.) was certainly an important reason for my decision. Moreover, some of my own earlier observations (e.g. with Pat. No. 2 and Pat. No. G e n e r a l p o p u l a t i o n d i v i d e d i n t o g r o u p s
o f d i f f e r e n t s e n s i t i v i t i e s
73) and the fact that alternatives to amalgam were widely available, were equally important special dose (e.g. gram/kg,
gram of a substance X per kg
reasons for me to discontinue using amalgam, a body weight)
material I had considered highly reliable before. From the 1800 patients whom I had treated in the chronic
toxic
last four years, roughly 90 wished to have their partially intact amalgam fillings - often done by me - replaced by another material (mostly detoxication-
or elimination-
composites and compomere). Predominantly, reaction of
the body
these were patients with certain health problems, who had been influenced by an acquaintance or via different media and had learned of the (no observed
effect level)
possible toxic effect of mercury from amalgam. On the one hand, I wanted to find out which 1 2 7 16 24 24 16 7 2 1 %
symptoms existed before amalgam removal had taken place. On the other hand, I wanted to Whereas a large majority of the population feel record health modifications which patients had little or no disease characteristics during a certain toxic agent impact, those 10% at the lefthand side of the graph already display acute-toxic In the table 1, symptoms indicated by the patients I do not know whether the large part of the 75 were listed. Qualitative health improvements patients described can belong only to such a were described in each case with the terms particularly mercury-sensitive group. Connected "much better", "better", "somewhat better", "no with this is also the question of the importance of improvement", "worsening". In the diagram the estimated number of unknown cases.

migraine. How many undiscovered patients with similar health problems as described above could 52 women and 23 men (i.e. approx. 4% of the patients treated by me in the last 4 years), mostly over 30 years old, complained of chronic On the following diagram, the age specification symptoms such as migraine (36x), headache is related to the year 1997. No conclusions can be (32x), gastro-intestinal disturbances (27x), neck made concerning the actual beginning of the tension (25x), paraesthesia (19x), dizziness symptoms. Why did more than twice as many Health Observations Before and After Amalgam Removal women than men have their amalgam fillings me only after many recalls. And also the removed? Are they more sensitive at a certain improvement of symptoms such as "mental age than men to amalgam questions or are they problems", "fatigue", "concentration difficulties", and "memory problems" were often only mentioned explicitly afterwards by patients. N u m b e r o f p a t i e n t s p e r a g e g r o u p
It was remarkable how often symptoms such as "headache" and (above all) "migraine" had substantially improved or even completely disappeared even before all the amalgam fillings Number of patients

Certainly it will be necessary to pursue further Just as amazing was the disappearance of shoulder / arm pain (e.g. Pat. No. 20, 69, 67, 50, modifications with the patients who have already 27) persisting for many years, which had been examined. Will their health continue to completely disappeared. Something similar can improve? Henceforth, in any case, I will pay be reported also with the " allergies " (e.g. Pat. modifications after amalgam removal than before. Patients would have to be asked more Whereas the symptoms of "migraine", systematically about the time frame of the origin "dizziness", "neck tension", "sight impairment" of their disease and its development as well as and "paraesthesia" improved seemingly fast or the point in time when amalgam removal was even totally disappeared after amalgam removal, undertaken. Above all, however - and that is this did not seem to be the case with patients probably the main purpose of this work - I would suffering from "stomach / intestine" disorder like to know whether other colleagues have made Finally, a significant improvement could be General methodical observations
observed in one case (Pat. No. 17) with "MS" In order to protect the patient - and the dentist - from mercury vapor, the " Clean Up" suction system (Scania Dental AB Sweden) was used. Literature
This allows mercury vapor in a patient's mouth to be reduced by a factor 100. The rubber dam was L.J. Hahn, R. Kloiber, M.J. Vimy, Y. Takahashi, sealed with " Oraseal " (Ultradent Products). As and F.L. Lorscheider: “Dental "silver" tooth filling material, composites (direct fillings and fillings: A source of mercury exposure revealed inlays) and also compomere were applied. In by whole body image scan and tissue analysis”. general, two fillings per session were replaced. Despite preventive measures, some particularly sensitive patients reacted strongly to the Kieler Amalgam-Gutachten 1997, available from amalgam removal (e.g. Pat. No. 30, 29,72) with a GZM, Seckenheimerstr.111, 68239 Mannheim. temporary aggravation of their symptoms.
