Recent Development
In April 2022
The Conference of the Parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global environmental agreement limiting mercury emissions, added more requirements for the parties to decrease dental amalgam use while supporting a phasedown rather than a phaseout approach.
The Minamata Convention on Mercury, which the U.S. joined as a party in 2013, calls for a phasedown of dental amalgam through increasing prevention efforts, researching viable alternatives, and using other restorative materials; the convention's fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties began with a virtual session in November 2021. Its second segment took place March 21-25, both virtually and in person in Bali, Indonesia, during w parties added new provisions to the convention.
