In 1994, Sweden announced the ban of amalgam as dental filling material. It was totally implemented on 1995 (for children) and on 1997 (for adults). Even if the ban didn’t take into effect in a single beat, it is said that only few believed that it doesn’t do any harm in their health. Some of the states in the US and countries followed the banning in Sweden.

The events that happened in Sweden is no less dramatic than what was experienced in Germany. In 1987, only a warning was sent in prevention or avoding of amalgam usage as dental fillings.While on 1993, Degussa AG (largest dental amalgam producer in Germany) announced their stoppage in production of amalgam.
