[QUOTE="VTDave, post: 139116, member: 2433"] Many labs told me it was illegal for them to talk to a patient. It's not true but that's how much they dislike talking to anyone. I tried to explain that I have allergies to materials and needed to know exactly what was going into the crowns, but got no sympathy. Talking to my dentist was no help. I have never met a dentist who actually knows exactly what is in the materials. One told me my crowns were zircon. That's all he would say. That didn't help me at all. I had to write to the CEO of the lab to get him to tell his people to talk to me. It was only then that I found out that it was Noritake Cerabien ceramic. Then it took me a long time to find out from Henry Shein exactly what was in the Cerabien. I found that it has a small amount of lithium oxide. Since I had had a previous adverse reaction to the lithium oxide containing emax it seems probable that I am sensitive to lithium disilicates. Studies have shown that lithium disilicates are more cytotoxic than traditional ceramics. So now I know to ask for materials that have no lithium oxide. Problem is that the dentists often don't know what is in the ceramic and don't care. They are trained to believe that it is not possible to be allergic or have any adverse reaction to a ceramic. I have had more than one tell me that. So I really need to talk to the lab to be certain what the materials are. I never want another lithium disilicate going into my mouth. It was extremely painful.
