目标。审查全球范围内关于汞合金使用的政府指南，并评估汞合金和复合材料在后牙修复中的使用趋势。方法。我们已向 24 个政府卫生机构或代表组织发出了一封信函，要求提供有关汞合金使用的详细法规。我们进行了文献检索，以确定其中陈述了汞合金和复合修复体发生率的论文。结果。收到了 10 份答复，表明对汞合金的使用没有什么限制。从已发表的研究中获得的结果似乎表明汞合金的使用正在下降，但由于缺乏已发表的数据，许多国家的下降速度尚不清楚。研究发现，美国、澳大利亚和斯堪的纳维亚半岛的汞合金使用量正在减少，英国的下降幅度较小。结论。全世界对汞合金的使用几乎没有限制。在美国、澳大利亚和斯堪的纳维亚半岛等有数据可查的国家，汞合金的使用量正在减少，其中英国的下降幅度较小。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objectives. To review governmental guidelines on amalgam use worldwide and to assess trends in the usage of amalgam and composite materials in restoration of posterior teeth.Methods. A letter was sent to 24 government health agencies or representative organisations requesting details of regulations pertaining to amalgam use. A literature search was carried out in order to identify papers in which the incidence of amalgam and composite restorations was stated.Results. Ten replies were received, indicating few restrictions on the use of amalgam. Results obtained from published work appear to indicate that amalgam use is declining, but at rates which are unclear in many countries because of the paucity of published data. Amalgam use has been found to be decreasing in the USA, Australia and Scandinavia, with lesser decreases being apparent in the UK.Conclusions. There are few restrictions to the use of amalgam worldwide. In countries where data are available, such as USA, Australia and Scandinavia, amalgam use has been found to be decreasing, with smaller decreases being apparent in the UK. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
