The Nature Of The Problem....
Shaping New Dental Thought With Science
“The safety of dental materials has historically been assumed. Indeed, many materials have been classified by the FDA as ‘non- significant risk devices’. The testing is often superficial, with most interest directed toward physical performance of the material. When a biological response is considered, the reaction anticipated is usually acute toxicity.”
Schultz, et.al., Oral Health, page 7, 1997

How Materials Are Usually Selected....Shaping New Dental Thought With Science
●Will it stay put and wear well?●Is it hard or time-consuming to use?●Does it make the mouth sore?●Does it look good?●Has the ADA approved it?●Who else is using it?●How expensive is it?

About Thresholds....
Shaping New Dental Thought With Science
●Reactivity requires acquisition of one or more thresholds
●Compensatory mechanisms may mask some reactivities
●Symptoms and loss of function do not follow a linear pathway
●Reducing body burden may permit limited use of toxics

normally, naturally and routinely●Sometimes disguised as ‘quartz’, ‘mica’ or
‘feldspar’●Dissociable aluminum is a grave cause for concern

Non-Precious Alloys
Shaping New Dental Thought With Science
●Nickel is wonderful in structural steel and certain stainless applications - Keep it out of the body and in the building
●Chromium in the penta- or hexa-valent state is a disaster
●Cadmium will do anything mercury, arsenic and lead can do - it’s just a little slower
●Hiding metal alloy under porcelain or ceramic is about as isolating as coating mercury with saliva
●NEVER, NEVER, NEVER USE MERCURY AND GOLD IN THE SAME MOUTH - Never!
