inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges onto the prepared teeth.
Only the more viscous (thicker) version of Holistore, mentioned
above, is used for small fillings. Thank you to Den-Mat
Corporation for making Holistore. Den-Mat is one of the very
few companies that listen to the dentists and fill their requests.
To purchase Holistore call Den-Mat Corporation phone: 800 -
433-6628 extension 6222, ask for knowledgeable sales person.
(2) For the common case of larger cavities and cavities on major
chewing surfaces, a Holistore filling will not work. I would then
use an inlay made out of another very biocompatible material,
Premise Indirect (formally BelleGlass) unshaded. This unshaded
Premise Indirect is 80% glass and 20% resin binder, and is
processed at a dental lab. Its hardness is close to that of
enamel; no shading is recommended for crowns, inlays, and
short span bridges. Shading contains iron oxide to make a
crown or bridge look like a natural tooth. In most cases, energy
from the iron oxide is not compatible with the patient‟s health.
Various adverse symptoms can be associated with the effects of
iron oxide shading in the bonded restorations.
(3) A mixture of cadmium-free plastic, Vitalon 1060,
manufactured by Fricke (see appendix) International is used for
partials and dentures. Hardening of this plastic powder and
liquid mixture is done in a water bath for twenty hours and cured
at one hundred and sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit. A long
curing time of the plastic dentures or partials removes the liquid
(monomer) making the plastic more compatible.
(4) Point 4, a composite filling manufactured by Kerr Company,
has good wear strength, ease of application, and polishes to a
smooth finish. Point 4 does contain barium, so CEDS must be
used to check each patient for compatibility with this material.
(5) Bistite II DC is a bonding agent for crowns, inlays and
bridges manufactured by Tokuyama. It does contain some
aluminum oxide, so CEDS must be used to check each patient
for compatibility with this material.
