This poll offers statistics related to dental amalgam mercury usage by dentists in the United States.

Abstract / Excerpt:

“In this poll, we asked dentists: Does your practice place amalgam fillings?

It’s getting hot in here! In a heated debate, dentists were passionately split over the issue of amalgam. Fifty-two percent of dentists in our poll responded, ‘No, we are no longer using mercury amalgam.’ The other 48% replied, ‘Yes, we are still placing amalgam fillings.'”
