Hi there, yeah I have found this website totally invaluable and i learn things from people and my own experience (and mistakes) and everyone just passes it on and helps eachother.

Yes, I do not believe Diamond is an ideal material. I have not always heard the best reports either. Though I doubt anything is ideal. I just feel that though Diamond is supposedly free of metals, they HAVE to make it up by including other chemicals etc, there is not such thing as a healthy metal free material.

This is why I think cerec is safer, because basically, even if it does contain these things, it does not come out the same, and doesn't have the wear or softness of amalgams or composites.

with cerec, you can drink hot and cold drinks, it will not do what amalgams and compsoites do. It expands and contracts with it, it does not vaporise etc.

Though yep, it contains metal oxides, as the rest of them do. But i'd rather have a material that contained them firmly, rather than one that was softer and more leechable.

Again, I would never guarantee any of them frankly. And the cost of these porcelains are out of many people's league, unless they have a reasonable income.

But if I were to choose? I'd most likely go with cerec. Even just for that one reason alone, more stable, less likely to leech any of the content out, plus it does not react with other materials in the mouth and set off new toxic reactions with those other materials.

The only risk for that to occur, is when people get porcelains with metal bases and don't know it. The metal base is covered with porcelain and this metal base will set off reactions in a mouth that still contains amalgam and probably cause a terrible response. Just like having braces put on, two differing metals setting off a battery effect in the mouth, and causing a larger release of the toxins, plus them combining with eachother at the sametime.

Is cerec the answer? I don't know. I wish it was, but it would seem it's certainly high on the list of many biologic dentists. If you try it, or get a sample, let us know how it felt wtih you.

One thing on here people are honest and will tell it how it is. If something is touted for being great and a person hasn't had a good reaction, they will come out and say it. This is what we need to hear, the truth and we will only get that from fellow sufferers.
