Estimation of Mercury in Human Enamel by Activation Analysis

GEORGE S. NIXON 1, GEORGE D. PAXTON 1, and HAMILTON SMITH 1

1 University of Glasgow Dental School and Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Glasgow, Scotland

Using activation analysis, the mercury content of the inner and outer enamel layer of individual teeth was estimated. In forty sound erupted teeth, a mean value of 2.79 ppm was obtained for the outer enamel layer and 2.34 ppm for the inner enamel layer. In seven unerupted teeth the mercury content of the enamel was of the order of 0.1 ppm. Enamel of teeth in contact with silver amalgam fillings had mercury contents ranging from 153 to 1,600 ppm.
