| Abstract | The potential adverse health effects of mercury from amalgam and bisphenol A (BPA) from composite resin have been significant concerns. It is unclear whether dental restorative materials significantly contribute to mercury or BPA levels. The purpose of this study is to use NHANES data including 14,703 subjects (2003-2004: n=7514; 2011-2012: n=7189) to examine the association between Dental Surface Restorations (DSR) and blood total mercury (THg), inorganic mercury (IHg), methyl mercury (MeHg) and urinary BPA through the stratification of covariates and multivariate analysis. Subjects were divided into three groups based on the number of dental surface restorations (DSRs, 0, 1-8, >8). Blood THg and IHg in 2003-2004 were significantly higher in the subjects with DSR (geometric mean of 0.48, 0.69 and 1.17µg/l for THg; 0.32, 0.33 and 0.39µg/l for IHg with DSR 0, 1-8 and >8). Similarly, increases of THg, IHg and MeHg were also observed in 2013-2014 (geometric mean of 0.51, 0.69 and 0.99µg/l for THg; 0.40, 0.49 and 0.66µg/l for MeHg; 0.20, 0.22 and 0.29µg/l for IHg with DSR 0, 1-8 and >8). Linear regression model analysis revealed blood THg and IHg in 2003-2004 and THg, IHg and MeHg in 2011-2012 were quantitatively associated with the number of DSRs. A dramatic decrease in urinary BPA from 2003 to 2004-2011-2012 was observed, but no significant increase with DSRs in either period of study. In conclusion, significant increases in blood THg, IHg, and MeHg in the subjects with DSRs are confirmed in a nationally representative population, a critical step in assessing the potential risk of adverse effects from dental restorative materials, but no association between dental fillings and urinary BPA was found. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
