Here's The Scoop on Biocompatibility Tests

Scientific Health Solutions is a biocompatibility test invented by Hal Huggins and now owned by Thomas Levy.  Upon invention of the test, Hal Huggins signed a non-disclosure agreement with the dental companies who provide ingredients to them.  All US companies are required by law to at least provide hazardous ingredients on an MSDS (materials safety data sheet).  Beyond that, they may or may not want to provide any further details.  Some companies, like 3M for example, will disclose all ingredients to anyone, public included, provided you sign a non-disclosure form.  Many companies that Scientific Health Solutions work with are foreign companies and have different laws of disclosure, but the minimum Scientific Health Solutions requires of them is an MSDS of hazardous materials.  Many companies have proprietary ingredients and will not disclose them, both US and foreign.  Yes, you could go to a lab and have it analyzed, but it would give you a list of the ingredients that are dried and cured already and not the component ingredients.  It could be those component ingredients causing a reaction as the dentist puts them in your mouth.  It is not only costly to have them analyzed, it may not tell you what you want to know.  So, that is the scoop straight from the horse's mouth.  If you want to hear it for yourself, call Seth at Scientific Health Solutions.  He has a degree in Chemistry and has been with the company a few years:    800-331-2303
