Well, Dec. 8 I get my first three amalgams out. Hooray! But I know I have a long road ahead. Anyway, this is probably a question mostly for Russ and/or Laura (or anyone else who has had this substance). The dentist is using something called Bondit Heliomolar (sp?) resin.
Do you have any data on the safety of this? The dentist has been trained by Dr. Huggins so that is certainly a point in his favor.

Sorry. I was unable to find any information on this substance. Is it spelled correctly?

Not quite. It is BOND-IT(with a hyphen) but I think the HELIOMOLAR is correct. However, I think the receptionist may have been giving me two names of possible replacements, because on my dental panel, it lists BOND-IT (Pentron Clinical Technologies) and HELIOMOLAR FLOW or HELIOMOLAR RADIOPAQUE (both from Ivoclar-Vivadent-Williams). Sorry about that. I thought she had spelled it correctly. Thanks SO much for looking. I hope you can find it.

I found an MSDS for Heliomolar and for a product that sounds like Bond-It actually called Bind-NT. I'm not sure if this is correct but you can look in the reference section to see if it matches, located here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Russ. I'll try to work it all out.

Russ, I looked up the info, and, as a layman, it is hard to figure out what's what. However, some of the info there didn't look promising. So, I looked up a lot of stuff on the web and, a lot of the resin fillings have problematic stuff in them. So, I called my dentist and asked to have diamondlite instead. He doesn't think that diamondlite is as tough as the stuff he was going to use, but gladly agreed to use the diamondlite (I thank Jesus!). From what I have read, diamondlite is very tough! Actually, it is not diamondlite he will be using but something else from the same company with the word diamond in it (for molar surfaces).
1) Do the people who have diamondlite or other "diamond" product find it to be durable?
2) Do you know if it is any more expensive than the other stuff?

Good for you. Some dentists are using DiamondCrown. Perhaps that what he said.

Good luck to you.
