The announcement of the Minamata Convention has triggered the lead into a phase-down in the use of dental amalgam. This paper considers aspects of this development in the context of the experience of banning the use of dental amalgam in Norway. It is suggested that strong top-down leadership and joined-up working by all relevant stakeholders, including patients, may be one of the most important keys to an effective, seamless transition to the provision of preventatively orientated, patient-centred, minimally interventive operative dentistry, based on state-of-the-art selection and application of tooth-coloured restorative materials. The benefits of such a transition are considered to be an important goal for dentistry in the UK.
《水俣公约》的宣布引发了逐步减少牙科汞合金使用的阶段。本文结合挪威禁止使用牙科汞合金的经验，探讨了这一发展的各个方面。研究表明，强有力的自上而下的领导以及包括患者在内的所有相关利益攸关方的协同合作，可能是有效、无缝过渡到提供以预防为导向、以患者为中心、微创的手术牙科的最重要关键之一，这种过渡基于对牙齿颜色修复材料的最新选择和应用。这种过渡的益处被认为是英国牙科的一个重要目标。
