A relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and dental silver-mercury fillings has been suggested by some investigators, but never proven. This study documents objective biochemical changes following the removal of these fillings along with other dental materials, utilizing a new health care model of multidisciplinary planning and treatment. The dramatic changes in photolabeling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins following these dental interventions suggest CSF photolabeling may serve as an objective biomarker for monitoring MS. The clear-cut character of these changes should also encourage more research to better define this possible association between dental mercury and MS.
一些研究人员曾提出多发性硬化症（MS）与牙科银汞填充物之间存在关联，但从未得到证实。本研究利用一种多学科规划与治疗的新型医疗模式，记录了去除这些填充物及其他牙科材料后客观的生化变化。这些牙科干预后脑脊液（CSF）蛋白质光标记的显著变化表明，CSF光标记可能作为监测MS的一种客观生物标志物。这些变化的明确特征也应促使更多研究，以更好地界定牙科汞与MS之间这种可能的关联。
