Re: What are the best/healthiest Replacement Fillings to get?

No, i don't know what it is.  Germany is a country that is very picky about what it puts on the market.  They have good controls and laws in place.  I know a Dentist who uses only German materials.  But, when I looked up some of those one time, it had some of the bad ingredients that you don't want in dental materials.  So, no matter where the product is from, no matter what company makes it, one should look over the MSDS of the product and compare it against known toxic ingredients. 

There is HEMA in DiamondBond, which is considered a compound with high risk of causing allergy, but all adhesives contain methacrylate derivatives.  I believe DiamondCrown are the best fillings we have to date.  In the future, Zirconium fillings might be a better choice as far as durability, but they are not available yet and they will use the same adhesives most likely that are used now.  The zirconium oxicde crowns and bridges are supposed to be highly compatible.  They are new on the market.  Some of them are made in Germany.  ZrO2 by itself does appear very compatible, but it will depend some on the other products used with it.  I know 3M is using propylene glycol in their preparation.  If you find the name of the product, I might be able to get the MSDS.

Myself I do not like hygienists and go to dentists who do not have them.  I think they can cause a lot of damage to teeth.
