You cite Lugliè PF et al (2000) in support of your opinion that dental amalgam could pass from the mother into the amniotic fluid (AF) and hence into the fetus, causing neurological damage. Is there any reason to favour Lugliè PF et al (2000) over Lugliè PF et al (2005)? Is it because the more recent work does not support your opinion? According to the abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14689312
"Number and surface areas of amalgam fillings influenced positively Hg concentration in AF but not at a significant level. Moreover Hg levels detected in AF were low and no adverse outcomes were observed through pregnancies and in the newborns."
