Titanium exposure and human health

August 23, 2019
Tibau, AV, Grube, BD, Velez, BJ, Vega, VM, Mutter, J. Titanium exposure and human health. Oral Sci Int. 2019; 16: 15– 24. https://doi.org/10.1002/osi2.1001 Abstract Historically, titanium (Ti) has maintained the reputation of being an inert and relatively biocompatible metal, suitable for use in both medical and dental prosthesis. There are many published articles supporting these views, but there is recent scientific evidence that Ti, or its...

Dental Amalgam Fillings and the Use of Technological Devices as an Environmental Factor: Updating the Cumulative Mercury Exposure-based Hypothesis of Autism

December 1, 2017,
Abstract: The molecular basis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) still remains obscure and little is known about the specific gene-environment interactions that may increase the prevalence of the disorder. There has been a lot of controversy in the past regarding the association of thimerosal, a mercury (Hg)-containing preservative in vaccines, and the increased probability of...
