Resumen
Objetivo: Determinar los niveles de mercurio en la sangre en individuos que han tenido contacto con amalgama, ya sea que tengan o no restauraciones en ese material.Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo en dos grupos de 22 individuos con restauraciones en amalgamas y 22 sin restauraciones o con restauraciones en composites. Después de diseñar el instrumento, se procedió a la toma de las muestras sanguíneas. Éstas se analizaron por espectrofotometría.Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas en las concentraciones de mercurio, al analizar por ocupación, tiempo relacionado con la odontología y manipulación de las amalgamas (P>0.165). La presencia de amalgamas, años con amalgamas, número de superficies con amalgama y dientes con amalgama resultaron significativos con P<0.0007, P<0.0025. P<0,0011 y P < 0.0010, respectivamente.Conclusiones: Se pudo establecer una relación directamente proporcional entre el tiempo de exposición y la concentración de mercurio; se concluyó que a mayor tiempo de exposición, mayor concentración de mercurio. Además, se encontró una relación entre los niveles de mercurio y la presencia de amalgamas, el número de dientes con amalgama y de superficies obturadas con amalgama.[Rodriguez JA, Melendez LJ, Pacheco WA.

Objective: To determine the mercury levels in blood in patients with and without amalgam fillings.Material and methods: Two groups were studied. Twenty-two people with amalgam fillings and twenty people without any fillings or with composites fillings. After designing the instrument, blood tests were taken, which were analyzed by using a technique called spectrum photometry.Results: No meaningful differences were found on the mercury concentrations when they were analyzed by occupation, time related to the dentistry and amalgam manipulation (P>0.165). It was found a relation between amalgams fillings, years with amalgam fillings, the number of amalgam-filled tooth surfaces and number of teeth with amalgam fillings; the results showed significantly differences so that (P<0.0007), (P<0,0025), (P<0,0011), (P<0,0010), respectively.Conclusions: A direct and proportional relationship was established in the exposure time and the mercury concentration that was found. It was concluded that the longest is the exposure time, the biggest is the mercury concentration.
