Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2006Loose crowns - super glue?
No I'm not seriously thinking of ever using it, but considering how many times my crowns have come loose and had to be recemented - just wondering if plain old super glue would actually work pretty good. Anybody ever hear of a dope who tried it? thanks > No I'm not seriously thinking of ever using it, but considering how > many times my crowns have come loose and had to be recemented - just > wondering if plain old super glue would actually work pretty good. > Anybody ever hear of a dope who tried it? thanks Yes. It took a long time to remove his finger from his mouth.

Just the smallest minute drop. It lasts about a week. Toxic effects, according to what one can find on Google, appear to be negligible. So do you just put the little drop there or do you spread it all over the inner surface of the crown? (No I'm not writing this down : ) >So do you just put the little drop there or do you spread it all over >the inner surface of the crown? (No I'm not writing this down : ) My crown is a good fit so just the smallest drop. It spreads itself when you put the crown in position and bite on something soft for a couple of minutes.

Toxic effects, according to what one can find on Google, > appear to be negligible. Why not use a dedicated product like Thin Set Cap & Crown Cement (DenTek) instead? Seems a bit less risky to me. I believe Wal-Mart carries it ...... automotive dept -- Joel34 I can go one "better" than that. I worked with a man about 15 years ago who had some bizarre thoughts on when it was necessary to go to doctors and dentists. He had a molar that was apparently so decayed or something that it broke off. He used some kind of automotive sealant to put it back in! He said that you just squeeze out a little bit out of the tube and make a ball and squish it down in there and it holds for several months. And it tastes horrible, but that goes away after about a week! :-O This guy was in his late 50's or so at the time. And, no, I'm really not making this up! mayniac@aol.com Wrote: > I can go one "better" than that.

Automotive sealant. So did he put dentists on the same level as auto mechanics? (no to offense dentists).. There are some crazy, cheap people out there. How did his wife react to his auto sealant breathe? :D SignatureSue He actually was finally divorced by the time this happened. But I'd worked with him earlier while he was getting divorced and for years he he had the worst breath of anyone I have ever met. I think he had terrible dental hygeine and possibly some other problems -- his breath was *always* bad. You really couldn't stand to be within *feet* of him, as opposed to someone that you can't stand close to because of bad breath. About 6 or 8 years later we ran into him somewhere and shockingly he didn't have bad breath, so something had been taken care of by then. > He actually was finally divorced by the time this happened.

Never mind the fact that the next thing he faces can be "denture breath . . . " You can't win them all. - dentaldoc Sue Wrote: > Hmmmmm. Automotive sealant.
