title: [Amalgam. XIII. Criticism on dental amalgam: right or wrong?].
abstract: Some brief remarks, partly based on Dutch legislation, are made on the dentists' attitude towards the use of dental amalgam. The patient is entitled to ask for dental restorative materials other than amalgam. On the other hand, the dentist is entitled to refuse to apply materials that are, according to the prevailing professional standards, inappropriate in a given situation.
