Abstract (2. Language): 
Dental amalgam is one of the main sources of exposure to mercury in industrialised countries. A suspected link exists between low doses of mercury derived from dental amalgam and neurodegenerative or neurobehavioural disorders. Mercury is both neurotoxic and nephrotoxic at high doses. Many countries, such Swe¬den, recommend that the use of amalgam should be restricted, particularly in pregnant women and children. As part of a global strategy to eliminate mercury, the European Parliament has asked the Commission to draft legislation limiting the use of dental amalgam. This article review the effects of amalgam of human tis¬sues in the light of the current literature.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amalgam, sanayileşmi ş ülkelerde cıvaya maruz kalmanın en önemli sebeplerinden biridir. Amalgam dolgulardan salınan düşük dozdaki cıva ile nörodejeneratif veya nörodavranışsal bozukluklar arasında bir bağlantı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Yüksek dozda alınan cıva hem nörotoksik ve hem de nefrotoksik etkiye sahiptir. isveç gibi bazı ülkeler, hamile kadınlarda ve çocuklarda amalgam kullanımını sınırlandırmıştır. Avrupa Parlamentosu, küresel bir stratejinin parçası ola¬rak, cıvanın zararlı etkilerini ortadan kaldırmak için, amalgam kulla¬nımını sınırlayan bir yasa tasarısı hazırlamıştır. Bu makale amalgamın insan dokularına etkilerini güncel literatür ışığında gözden geçir¬mektedir.
