One-sided vote

I feel it is very unfortunate that this debate will be one-sided once the votes are calculated. I feel that Bill did a wonderful job explaining the reasons why amalgam no longer is the restoration of choice. Unfortunately, considering that approximately 85 percent of the dentists practicing still are using amalgam due to stubbornness to change, lack of material education, and fear of the dental insurance industry, it seems it`s a nowin situation for everyone.
