Hi Russ,

Thank you so much for replying.

The reason I'm asking this question is, I thought porcelain was a big no-no and I have found a local dentist that claims to remove mercury properly but he uses porcelain inlays and onlays.....I was going to ask him if he would consider trying Diamond Lite but just in case he refuses, I have to be able to accept porcelain. And this was very good news for me. I already have some porcelain crowns but I believe most still have mercury under them and they'll need to be replaced.

I asked about the stainless steel because of what Cutler said about it. He said, "...stainless steel base, which may be more problematic."

Is there another crown base that is better? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thank you again for all of your help.
