Mercury was used to cure the felt used in hats, and workers developed the characteristic signs of mercury vapor toxicity. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor causes respiratory distress, which can be fatal. The symptoms of chronic exposure to mercury vapor include personality changes such as excitability, depression, memory loss, fine motor tremor that can become progressively worse, gingivitis, and hallucination. There is some mercury inhalation exposure from dental amalgam, but for most people there are no health-related effects. Metallic mercury is very poorly absorbed from the intestine, thus it is much better to swallow the mercury from a thermometer than inhale it (see chapter on mercury). 

C. The symptoms are characteristic of a person chronically exposed to vapors released from elemental mercury. Since the dental technician may handle elemental mercury, including mishandling, the symptoms presented may occur. While the technician may be exposed to solvent vapors released from dental adhesives, the symptoms are not characteristic of this type of exposure. Fluoride toxicity would not be expected because these are not symptoms associated with fluoride ingestion, and the patient and not the technician would be most likely exposed to quantities high enough to cause any symptoms. The technician has little exposure to li-docaine, and the symptoms are not typical of lido-caine toxicity.

Low sweetness sweeteners are of interest because they are generally metabolized in the body yet do not contribute to dental caries, and tend to have a lower effect on blood glucose in diabetics. Four examples are discussed here. Where sweetness equal to sucrose is desired, a high intensity sweetener can be mixed with it in most countries. However low sweetness caloric sweeteners are of particular interest for persons with kidney disease, where it is often difficult to get them to take enough calories. Use of glucose syrups to "stuff calories" with little water is often unacceptable to the patient because of the excessively sweet taste. Perhaps someone will develop a low sweetness metabolizable sweetener for these people.
