Re: Hal Huggins Dentist was Any suggestion on root canal and local anesthesia for a 4.5 year old boy

You can do muscle testing for composite compatibility, but it doesn't carry a

100% accuracy, although, I'm sure even the blood testing doesn't have that high

of an accuracy rate either, but it seems like a more reliable method to me.

Some people will do the blood test and then use muscle testing to determine

which of the acceptable composites are best for them. I have read that a lot of

people recommend doing the compatibility testing via the blood test, especially

when spending a lot of money to do a dental revision. Just because a material

isn't metal doesn't mean you won't have problems with it.

The company they use is call BioComp Laboratories, you can look them up for more

information about testing and how they do it. It's an informative site.
