Abstract

Much has been written about dental amalgam. Over many years, it has served the profession well, yet on environmental grounds its use is being phased down. This article seeks to explore key milestones in the history and development of this versatile material, as well as highlighting how international standards have assisted in reducing environmental mercury contamination.
