I heard Fuji has floride in it which is toxic, also porcelein is made out of about 45% aluminum oxide on the white part of the crown. Aluminum causes Alzeimers. Its called porcelein because of its white color, not because its made of porcelein. Also the inside of the crown, the part that is silver colored is nickel which is also cancer causing. Direct and indirect white composites have bis-phenol A and bis-phenol GMA which are basically the same thing. They are an estrogen producing substance that can cause many female problems including breast cancer. For 25 years I've been suffering from health problems from heavy metals such as porclein, nickel, and mercury and some direct composites and I almost died from it.

So I had them removed about 3 months ago, but instead of replacing these with safe non-toxic materials per my request. I got a mouth full of white direct composites which have bis-phenol A in them. This made me furious after telling the dentist I already was infertile and had Poly cistic ovarian syndrome which is caused from too much estrogen already! Now I'm terrified that I'm really going to end up with breast cancer because he filled everyone of my teeth with this on the bottom of each tooth as well as near the gum line. Also I paid $15,000. for this cancer causing junk after telling him I wanted the safest thing there was because I felt I was going to die very soon ! ! !

Not only that, but I also ended up with Lingual and Inferior Aveolar nerve damage. My tongue is still numb, I can't eat anything or brush my teeth without suffering excruciating pain! And its only getting worse. Also I can't taste my food very much anymore from the numbness. I can only drink liquids and purrees, even soft noodles are painful to eat.

I have my temporary crowns still in my mouth and told the dentist that I'm going to fly back home because I did not trust him to put the permanent crowns in after all that. So now I'm some what in the same situation as you are except probably worse. I too am trying to find what safe dental materials to use to replace these composites and permanent crowns with.

So far, through my research I've found that laboratory processed composites are the safest for white fillings or crowns. Also that Biodent Laboratories did thorough testing on the Diamond crown,Diamondlite, Diamond link, and I think its called the diamondbond, and all of these passed the tests. The tests were The ISO and ANSI tests. Alot of Dental labs only do the minimal requirements for testing and do a "pass" which is good enough by law but the materials can still be toxic for the consumer. So ask the Lab to fax you the Material Safety Data Sheet to find out whats in your dental materials. Then ask if they did a complete testing on them. Ask if they just did a "pass" or the ISO and/or ANSI complete tests, and what were the results of the tests.

I also found that about 85% high grade gold with about 15% platinum, and less than 1% of iridium is the best. Although iridium is toxic its non-reactive and doesn't leach out, this is called holistic gold. I need to look at my notes again and confirm this information, also I need to see if I can find the labs phone number. This is all I know right now and hope that these 2 choices are the safest. To really find out more, I'm going to have to do more research. Theres a web-site that I'm still trying to learn how to use since its so large, called "Medline." It gives information of toxic materials and more.

I also took an Individual bio-compatibility test to see if I was allergic to certain dental materials which I think is a farse ! This test said I was least reactive to the filtrex supreme direct white composites even though It had estrogen producing substances in it. Just because you're not allergic to a toxin dosn't make it a non-toxic material which will eventually make you sick and kill you ! ! I wasn't ever allergic to any of the heavy metals in my mouth, but it was making me more and more sickly throughout the years. It was not until resently I had become allergic to them after they lowered my immune system. I've heard of Kiniseology which is musel testing. It seems like this would be a more accurate test to me. I think it checks the Individual bio-compatibility as well as the generally compatibility for most everyone.

I wish I knew all this before and I wish I knew about the risks of nerve damage before hand. To avoid nerve damage which can be permanent, tell the dentist not to use "Articaine" which is also called "Septocaine". This novicaine is used by some dentists, but alot of them don't use it anymore since it can cause nerve damage. Also don't get IV Anesthsia at the same time, as any kind of novicaine while pulling or working on the 3rd lower molar, may cause nerve damage. Too much novicaine, the injection poking the nerve, wiggling the needle, or pulling a tooth can all also cause nerve damage. I had a 9 hour surgery on all my teeth at once by a biological dentist in Colorado Springs and was put to sleep at the same time, which I will never recommend to anyone since a person is unaware of what might go wrong !!!

I learned that accupuncture and /or low level laser has gotten rid of some peoples nerve damage, if you don't wait too long to get it. I 've heard a few horror stories about getting surgery when these people got even more nerve damage on the other side of their mouth and face.

I hope I helped you somewhat. Its very hard to find a dental material that is totally non-toxic which makes me extremely mad! Its a shame that they can't think of a material that is 100% safe!

God bless you and I hope you find the right material. Please forgive the grammer. My writing has gotten far worse along with my speech after the heavy metal poisoning and nerve damage! I know what I want to say and write but I can't remember the words, spelling, or the order of a sentence to get the message accross to someone else sometimes. I use to be able to speak and write with excellent grammer, but thoughs days are over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> [color:"red"] [/color]
