Dental damage to the human immune system

German medical experts say the denture either amalgam or gold alloy fill material will damage the body's immune system.

To amalgam dental fillings, its immune system and enter the quantity of mercury in the blood. The gold alloy crown and fillings affect the immune system, the exact cause is unclear.

Augsburg's Dr Klaus Moose 129 patients to check his response to several standard antigen, their immune system function to be tested. These 129 people, 48 people have amalgam fillings set their teeth and 37 set the gold teeth, while another 28 population cavity two fillings have the rest of the people do not set your teeth. The results show that set their teeth in patients with dental equipment immune response slightly, but significantly weaker than the patients who did not set their teeth. Amalgam fillings in the oral cavity, the higher the concentration of mercury in human blood, serum or urine, the greater the impact of the human immune system.

Whether it is oral, there are two fillings, patients or just set the gold teeth of patients, their immune response is better than none set their teeth in the control group patients to be weak. But the doctor is not able to the immune system affected and the patient's blood What is the repair teeth need attention or palladium concentration linked. Making gold crowns and fillings will usually use a different proportion of palladium, in order to increase hardness.

Moose said that amalgam fillings often overlooked impact on the human immune system, but he was surprised for the gold alloy fillings can also affect the immune system.
