Abstract / Excerpt:
“The next few years will see the implementation stage (2014 to 2017), to be monitored by what the Convention calls the ‘Conference of the Parties’. The expected result for dental amalgam is a reduction in demand through increased efforts: at prevention, to use alternative materials where clinically indicated and to research improved alternative materials. NDAs should lead these efforts: failure to reduce demand, hence use, of dental amalgam could result in a recon-sideration of the special treatment and increased pressure for an outright ban.”
