Hi TW, to be honest, I have noticed no difference at all in having them done. Perhaps I've wasted my money, but I did it with good intentions. Hoping that "if" there was a biocompatibility issue with the older ones, then this might make things better or somewhat improved.

Unfortunately it hasn't. The removing of the extra bit of amalgam so far hasn't made any difference that I can note either. But it is very possible that this may have complicated healing in the past and caused the horrific effects I got with trying to detox.

But as most of my problems with these issues in recent years came after virus and wisdom tooth removal, It makes me lean even more towards the infection/cavitation possibility to be honest. However, I am still going ot finish off the rest of my composites with cerec replacements.

They supposedly can last 25 years - a lifetime and it's a good investment for future I guess. I really wish I could say that since they were done, things are beginning to improve...so far, not happening <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The filtek supreme composites "may" have had an impact, as I believe almost any dental material can to some degree, particularly if a person is still poisoned by mercury and hasn't chelated properly OR has some other immune challenge going on at the sametime to make them much more chemically sensitive.

I wish I knew the answers. Perhaps there really is no safe dental material, but just ones that are a little more benign.

After my next replacement, it'll be interesting if the dentist finds anymore left over amalgam. Either way, I hope to give ALA a trial run.
