<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> yep, me.
That is what I just had put in. I had 4 done in one session and then 4 done the next. Usually, if you have 3 or more done in one session, the cost comes down. Which is why I did it that way, plus saved me from more visits.
Worked out well. No complaints, other than a niggly tooth (which was already dodgy anyway). Materials look good and hopefully will be ok for my immune system. They have a very good reputation, but must be done by a dentist experienced in replacing them.
I went to a dentist who is not only experienced in placing them, but actually is a cerec instructor, so he teaches other dentists how to place them properly.
I know two other people with them, and they did not notice any adverse reactions to them. But still suffering from the amalgam toxicity it seems, but that takes quite sometime to recover from anyway.
I hope this is helpful to you. A few biologic dentists i've spoken to believe this material to be the closest thing mimicking human enamel and feel it's one of the most biocompatible materials to date. One dentist only uses this and one other type of composite.
They do it right then and there! It takes about an hour a tooth, or sometimes less. Mine went pretty quickly! Faster than what I thought it would.
The guy who runs the serum testing lab in USA (Walter Clifford) spoke pretty favourably of it too and said it's a very stable material. So far, he's not yet seen an adverse immune response on testing to anybody....but again there is always a chance I guess.
It is not quite like oldstyle porcelain either, it's improved and does not have a metal base. Apparently it's debated whether it contains aluminium or not. however, Walter said that it is so stable a material, that you would get more exposure to aluminium from baking powder and common garden salad!
