Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The popularity of dental amalgam arises from its excellent long-term performance, ease of use, and low cost. However, there is a concern about the potential adverse health effects arising from exposure to mercury in amalgam. This review article critically discusses the safety of dental amalgam as a restorative material and our preparedness for a mercury-free road ahead.
UNASSIGNED: A database search was performed on PubMed and Google scholar using the keywords: \"mercury-free dentistry\", \"mercury toxicity\", \"amalgam substitutes\", \"amalgam mercury toxicity\". Inclusion and exclusion criteria were specified clearly. Relevant literature was also searched in the dental textbooks.
UNASSIGNED: Around 40 articles, highlighting mercury exposure among dental professionals and patients were included. Despite the overwhelming body of scientific evidence demonstrating amalgam to be a safe restorative material, concerns about the toxic effects of mercury persist.
UNASSIGNED: The real challenge is to find a suitable amalgam substitute and to follow the mercury hygiene measures closely.

摘要：
■牙科汞合金的普及源于其出色的长期性能，易用性,和低成本。然而,人们担心接触汞合金中的汞会对健康造成潜在的不利影响。本文严格讨论了牙科汞合金作为修复材料的安全性以及我们为无汞道路做好的准备。
■在PubMed和Google学者上进行了数据库搜索，使用关键字：“无汞牙科”，“汞毒性”，“汞合金替代品”，“汞齐汞毒性”。明确了纳入和排除标准。在牙科教科书中也搜索了相关文献。
■大约40篇文章，包括牙科专业人员和患者中的汞暴露。尽管大量科学证据表明汞合金是一种安全的修复材料，对汞的毒性影响的担忧仍然存在。
■真正的挑战是找到合适的汞齐替代品并密切关注汞卫生措施。
