dc.description.abstractSome patients experience health complaints which they attribute to dental amalgam. The symptom pattern is similar to medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS). The most common amalgam related symptoms are fatigue/exhaustion, dizziness, mental symptoms (concentration and memory disturbances, anxiety, irritability, restlessness and depression), pain (muscle, joint, neck and shoulder, teeth/jaws/facial pain and headache), functional gastrointestinal symptoms (constipation, diarrhea and bloating), mouth blisters, metallic taste, and susceptibility to infections.

Specific attention was paid to (1) self-reported effects of CAM, (2) differences in CAM use dependent on self-reported health, and (3) genderen_US
