Hello all, Maybe you can help me with an importnat issue... I hade a root canal and a temporray crown put in. I had a terrible reaction to the temporary crown. Soon he wants to put a permanent crwon. What is the bext and the most hypoallergenic material to your experience? Gold? Titanium? or should I just take the tooth off :)? I', very sensitive to metals (i can't even put most ear rings - not even gold). anyone? thank you! gali >Hello all, >Maybe you can help me with an importnat issue... >I hade a root canal and a temporray crown put in. >I had a terrible reaction to the temporary crown.

There are some very high alloys of gold available to make crowns out of. Your dentist's lab should be able to tell him exactly what metals are in their alloys. Porcelain is rather inert as well.... but it's not going to be nearly as strong as gold. -- Adenosine Semi-informed Dental Consumer ? >>Hello all, >>Maybe you can help me with an importnat issue...

Usually, removal of all previous restoration and core gives enough bulk in the center. You just reduce the cusp tips a bit more. .. Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

I have studied this issue a bit (but have not attended dental school) Both Ti and gold are great, but few labs bother with Ti. Titanium takes very special equipment to cast. I always ask for "high noble". > or should I just take the tooth off :)? That would be crazy. > I', very sensitive to metals. Then why use them? How about an all-ceramic restoration?

For crowns the most hypoallergenic material is 'all ceramic', ie. porcelain. -- W_B wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Take out the G'RBAGE |
