Dear Metal Mouth Mom, you seem to be so knowledeable about composites... I am sending out enquiries to some allegedly famous Dentists as I need to have a few old fillings replaced and I still do not get complete answers... I have been reccomended Heliprogress from Ivoclar Vivadent as the most metal-free composite.... Do you know if this composite has passed any fibroblast cellular reactivity test like for example DiamondLite form DRM Res. Labs? In oder words, is it cytotoxic or not?
Another thing regarding this composite, I have to replace my old fillings and looking at the current composites available I have seen that DiamondLite is X-Ray detectable according to its MSDS sheets while Helioprogress is completely metal free as the off-white version does not appear on the X-ray.
All these composites contains Bis-GMA materials, and these seem to be unavoidable in composites. Does anybody know if there is any composite without Bis-GMAs?
