Allergic reaction to temporary crowns
©®©@®.©®©
etc. The dentist said it was an allergy when I went back to have the perms
installed.
Is the same material used then still used today? I have 3 temps in now
and the gums are a bit tender but not as bad as before. Thank you.

Generally some form of acrylic resin is used. The resin may be
irritating to some patients, but in my experience redness after a crown
and bridge procedure is more likely to be caused by unnecessarily
traumatic preparation and impression, or from a poorly-fitting temporary
that traps food.
If you developed a more obvious allergic reaction--hives, swelling of
the lips and/or tongue, then it certainly may be allergic, and you must
make sure your dentist uses a different type of material.

I sure miss that "what's a temporary?" stuff.
Do you ?

PPTM reached up his vagina and pulled out the above statement. Or was it

Good clinical term. Are you too young to remember "schmutz" pyorrhea?
Mark & Steven Bornfeld
Yes. I actually checked the new forum recently, and found little
activity. I should shoot SM an e-mail.

You must be misconscrewing what Newbie said. This is not a troll, it's
a comment on the dentist--he was basically agreeing with what I'd said.
Usually you can expect a poor result and severe gingival reaction when
the soft tissues are not handled properly by the dentist. Of course you
may be right and it could be allergic, or a contact reaction with free
acrylic monomer. But it's more likely the way the tooth was prepared,
impressioned, temporized, etc.

Picked that one up in SMD. A JME favorite.
They sure didn't mention 'meth mouth' back in those days !

Most crowns today are either ceramic, or ceramic bonded to precious or
non-precious metal (generally similar to stainless steel), or all
precious metal. While it is theoretically possible to react to almost
anything, precious metals and glazed porcelain are generally
well-tolerated by the tissue. Some early non-precious alloys contained
nickel, which is commonly sensitizing, but you're not likely to
encounter this. There is no mercury in casting alloys.

No sorry, bad diagnosis. My dentist changed the temps because of allergy
I have been under his care and seeing him weekly to repair a birth defect
and I have nothing wrong with my gums. But if you treat patients like you
treat me I can see why you have so much time to post here instead of having
patients in your chairs.
