Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi Peggy, Will this dental procedure require both a temporary crown and a permanent crown? If so, there's a new process where it can be done in one visit. I'm e-mailing you an article that was in the New York Times science section recently. (If others are interested, I'll e-mail it to them--or post it.) Anyway, here's something from the article that mentions adhesive: " Not only is the process more convenient than waiting for the lab, Dr. Spector said, it also produces a stronger crown. Instead of enamel, the crown is made of compressed porcelain " 40 percent stronger than what a lab can press, " he said. " And the material has the same properties as enamel - it wears away at the same rate, and it has the same thermal coefficient, so when you drink hot coffee it will expand just as much as the teeth around it. " It leaves more of the original tooth intact because the material can be cemented directly to the tooth with no metal interlayer. " I don't know how this compressed porcelain is different from the ceramic you mentioned, and I don't know which is better.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wow, I am so gonna order Andy's books come payday... Was just browsing some of the archived messages and wishing that I had used his protocol for my son (and myself) 10 years ago. It is reassuring to see that his protocol remains unchanged after all these years. The thing that prevented me from having my son chelated 10 years ago (he is now almost 14)is that I was not confident in the seemingly ever-changing/tweaking of our Dan doc's chelation arsenal. We ran out of funds before we could get him " ready " to be chelated-he reacted to almost every suup! Anyway, that was then, this is now. After reading Andy's post replies, I believe that I am vaccine injured myself. While in nursing school I was asked to get the MMR because clinicals were closing in and the doctor's office lost my titers. At the time I knew no better so I complied (even though my mother said that I had had 2 different types of measles as a child). I know that the MMR doesn't contain mercury but has other issues. Of course that was followed a year or so later with the Hep B vaccine series. I also had Rhogam during my first pregnancy (with my son) and a mouth full of amalgams. My question now is, I have a NP who says she will work with me on Andy's protocol but, although I have had only one remaining amalgam for years (which will be pulled shortly), is there a protocol that needs to be followd for extractions as well as fillings? It is a very small filling at the gumline-don't know if it will come out with the tooth or what. My dentist uses no amalgam but not sure he is convinced that special precautions need to be taken in their removal. The other question is that I found out after switching to a different dentist (after 20 years with a dentist who switched from amalgams to composite late in the game) that a root canal that I have has a part of a dental tool broken off inside it! The new dentist said if it didn't bother me not to worry about it because it would take oral surgery to correct! Will I still be ok to chelate with this unknown metal inside my root canal???
