These tables show percentile values (median, 25%, and 75%) in Kruskal Wallis analysis for several heavy metals/oligoelements (Hg++, Ag, Sn, Zn++, Cu++, Al, Cr, V, Co, and Ni), metabolic oligoelements (Se, Mo, Mn++, Li, Ge, S, P, I, Ca++, Sr, B, Na+, K+, Mg++, Rb, B, and Fe++), and metals of environmental exposure in Table 6 (Ba, As, Pt, Sb, Tl, To, Cd, Be, Bi, Zr, Pb, Cd, As, and U). The ANOVA data for V are shown by mean values ± S.E.M [the root square divided by n; n was the size sample; n = 16 (d90), n = 16 (d0), n = 21 controls]. Post hoc differences were evaluated by the Mann Whitney or Dunn’s method; Control: controls without dental materials and non-supplemented (n = 21); d0: patients with long-term titanium implants and dental amalgam fillings restorations (d0, n = 16); d90: patients with long-term titanium implants and dental amalgams after 90 days of supplementation (n = 16); n.s: not significant effect, p > 0.05). * p < 0.05 vs. Control; # p < 0.05 d90 vs. d0).
