Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2006Allergic reaction to temporary crowns
About 30 years ago I had allergic reaction to temp crowns, sore red gums, etc. The dentist said it was an allergy when I went back to have the perms installed. Is the same material used then still used today? I have 3 temps in now and the gums are a bit tender but not as bad as before. Thank you.

The resin may be irritating to some patients, but in my experience redness after a crown and bridge procedure is more likely to be caused by unnecessarily traumatic preparation and impression, or from a poorly-fitting temporary that traps food. If you developed a more obvious allergic reaction--hives, swelling of the lips and/or tongue, then it certainly may be allergic, and you must make sure your dentist uses a different type of material.

You must be misconscrewing what Newbie said. This is not a troll, it's a comment on the dentist--he was basically agreeing with what I'd said. Usually you can expect a poor result and severe gingival reaction when the soft tissues are not handled properly by the dentist. Of course you may be right and it could be allergic, or a contact reaction with free acrylic monomer. But it's more likely the way the tooth was prepared, impressioned, temporized, etc. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 >>but in my experience redness after a crown >>and bridge procedure is more likely to be caused by unnecessarily [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > piss poor tissue management. Good clinical term. Are you too young to remember "schmutz" pyorrhea?

My dentist changed the temps because of allergy I have been under his care and seeing him weekly to repair a birth defect and I have nothing wrong with my gums. But if you treat patients like you treat me I can see why you have so much time to post here instead of having patients in your chairs.

Do you ? >>or from a poorly-fitting temporary >>that traps food. > > I sure miss that "what's a temporary?" stuff. > > Do you ? Yes. I actually checked the new forum recently, and found little activity. I should shoot SM an e-mail.

Presumably there are alternatives (allergy-free/less chance of reaction)? Could I also ask whether the crowns themselves are ok from the allergy point of view? I mean I want to avoid any dental amalgam type issues - is such material used in crowns? Sorry for the probably dumbness of these questions - I admit knowing very little about it but would appreciate learning *before* treatment than after. tia >>> About 30 years ago I had allergic reaction to temp crowns, sore red gums, >>> etc. The dentist said it was an allergy when I went back to have the perms [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > than after. > tia Most crowns today are either ceramic, or ceramic bonded to precious or non-precious metal (generally similar to stainless steel), or all precious metal. While it is theoretically possible to react to almost anything, precious metals and glazed porcelain are generally well-tolerated by the tissue. Some early non-precious alloys contained nickel, which is commonly sensitizing, but you're not likely to encounter this. There is no mercury in casting alloys. Steve |
