Re: laser and amalgam removal

[Guest guest]

i had an amalgam removed on the 27th june and replaced with a white filling.

today it fell out. this means that i have to delay the next removal because i

have to get this one replaced. all this touching is just too much as i am

tactile defensive. i am wondering if laser dentistry is ok for amalgam removal.

i am told it is quicker, so i would not dread the visit to the dentist so much.

frazzled person here. if you know answer, pls reply even if you do not normally

communicate with me.

I'd also been wondering about this. I had come across this site by

Klinghardt:

http://www.neuraltherapy.com/a_neural_dental.asp

which says:

I believe that I have seen enough evidence from German studies, that

the most compatible material currently used in dentistry is ART-glass

(both filling, crown and bridge material) and carboxylate cement.

Bonding agents should only be used, if an argon laser can be used as

a curing light to form long molecules, which are less allergenic.

Can anyone offer input on this?

Laser cutting generates excessive vapor.

wow that article is interesting. one good thing i found out is that if you have

an open wound after jaw surgery and pack it with gauze then some of the mercury

is eliminated. i had jaw surgery to scrape infected matter from the bone and

one of my stitches came out. i did just that because i did not want to go back.

so i might have lost more mercury than i thought i would. the other wound was

not as large and they didnt stitch it. so i might have lost a bit there as

well.

what i was really asking was about the use of laser instead of the drill. there

is a laser dentist here, and i was wondering if laser could be used to get the

amalgams out.

thank you for responding so fast anyway.

HI

A properly placed composite (white filling) should not be falling

out.

You may need to bring this up with your dentist and if you do not

get a satisfactory answer, switch! (I no longer practice Dentistry,

so this is unbiased advice)

Hi,

I'm sure others have answered that you really don't want to use laser as

a method of removing amalgam. I would guess the lasers used to remove

cavities would not be powerful enough to vaporize amalgam anyway. The

lasers spoken of here are used to " cure " the plastic materials used to

fill cavities. They are only sort of lasers, are 400 - 450 nanometers,

a strong blue light. I had an interesting reaction to this. I throw

off dental anaesthetics within about 10-15 minutes, a true inconvenience

with some who's teeth are as bad as mine. By the time we're done, I'm

loaded to the gills with anaesthetic and feel strange and tense. The

blue light on the tissue inside mouth sends a pulse of relaxation

through my body.

thank you for advice.

the dentist who did it would not see me the same day, so i found another that

would. it was a very young woman who was fine when i asked about amalgam

removal and straight away launched into discussion of preventative measures she

would have to take and alternatives. she was concerned that porcelain would be

better in that situation, but i needed it filled right away and she is going to

quote for the entire job - amalgam removals, white fillings for 4 teeth probably

and one porcelain.

i will get at least one more quote but i really liked that woman. she was very

nice when i said i AS. she let me use the sucker thing so the dental assistant

did not touch me.
