Exposure to mercury is an important risk to dentists health. The aim of the present study was to assess the pooled mean mercury level (MML) in the urine, blood, nail, and hair of Iranian dentists (IDs) through the meta-analysis technique. Comprehensive and systematic searches were performed in main local databases including SID, Magiran, Iran medex, and ISC as well as internationally available databases including Embase, PubMed and Scopus for all the relevant studies up to 2018. In order to prevent bias in this study and identify eligible studies, various steps of the study was performed independently by two researchers. Out of 13 studies in the meta-analysis process which included 1499 IDs, the mean of the mercury level in the urine, nail, and blood was estimated to be 6.29 (95% CI: 2.61–9.97, I-square: 62.7%, P: 0.006), 3.54 (95% CI: 2.81–4.28, I-square: 0.0%, P: 0.968), 11.20 (95% CI: 2.28–20.13, I-square: 59.9%, P: 0.082), respectively. The mean mercury level (MML) in the biological samples of IDs was higher than the standard of World Health Organization (WHO). So, in accordance with Article 10 of the European Union Regulations (EUR), in the context of the Minamata Convention (MC) on Dental Amalgam (DA), in order to avoid the dangers of mercury exposure in dentists, it is necessary for Iran and other countries to approve laws and to implement a national plan to reduce mercury levels and replace the appropriate materials.

伊朗牙医生物样本中的汞含量:系统评价和荟萃分析

接触汞对牙医健康来说是一个重要风险。本研究的目的是通过荟萃分析技术评估伊朗牙医 (ID) 尿液、血液、指甲和头发中的汇总平均汞含量 (MML)。截至 2018 年,所有相关研究均在 SID、Magiran、Iran medex 和 ISC 等本地主要数据库以及 Embase、PubMed 和 Scopus 等国际数据库中进行了全面系统的检索。确定合格的研究,研究的各个步骤由两名研究人员独立执行。在荟萃分析过程中的 13 项研究(包括 1499 个 ID)中,尿液、指甲和血液中汞含量的平均值估计为 6.29(95% CI:2.61–9.97,I 平方:62.7%, P: 0.006), 3.54 (95% CI: 2.81–4.28, I-square: 0.0%, P: 0.968), 11.20 (95% CI: 2.28–20.13, I-square: 59.9%, P: 0.082) 。IDs生物样本中的平均汞含量(MML)高于世界卫生组织(WHO)的标准。因此,根据欧盟法规(EUR)第10条,在牙科汞合金水俣公约(MC)的背景下,为了避免牙医接触汞的危险,伊朗有必要和其他国家批准法律并实施国家计划,以降低汞含量并更换适当的材料。
