摘要:

A questionnaire containing 20 questions was sent to 127 members of the Association for Those Injured by Electricity and Visual Display Units in northern Sweden, of whom 103 (81%) answered. The questionnaire consisted of questions about age, sex, and place of work. Furthermore, the members were asked to state: 1) their general and oral symptoms; 2) whether they thought that dental amalgam and other types of dental filling materials had affected their symptoms; 3) whether they were replacing or had replaced their amalgam fillings and, if so, what effect it had had on their symptoms; 4) whether they had been medically examined; and 5) whether they were or had been sick‐listed for their complaints. Of those who answered the questionnaire, 79% were women (mean age 45 yr) and 21% men (mean age 42 yr). Sixty percent worked in offices. In 82%, the symptoms had started at work. The mean duration of the symptoms was 5.2 yr. The symptoms were aggravated mostly in “electric environment in general” and in “office with computers”. Skin complaints, fatigue, and eye symptoms were the most common general symptoms. Sixty‐five percent mentioned that they had oral symptoms. Gustatory disturbances, burning mouth, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction were the most common oral symptoms. Fifty‐six percent considered that dental amalgam and 24% that other dental materials affected the symptoms. Twenty‐one percent were in the process of replacing the amalgam fillings; 40% had already done so. After replacement, 37% had noticed a decrease of symptoms. Most had been medically examined for their complaints, and 81% had been sick‐listed. Forty‐two percent had received “alternative care”. Finally, a treatment protocol for the examination and treatment of patients with symptoms caused by electricity or visual display unit
