O/T Hidden amalgam survey?

[Guest guest]

Hi.

Could we do a survey?

I'm new, so stop me if it's already been done.

I'd like to see results of a survey of people on the list who have or used to

have crowns,

inlays and/or bridges.

I'd like to ask: " Of those who have or used to have crowns, inlays and/or

bridges, how

many chose to look beneath them for possible hidden amalgam? Of those who did

look

beneath them, how many people actually had amalgam remaining hidden under their

crowns/inlays/bridges? "

I'd like to know details, also, on what type of crown or inlay or bridge was

involved. For

example, was it a Captek crown? Is it even possible to make a captek crown while

amalgam remains on the original tooth?

This will help me (and others, I believe), with the cost-benefit analysis we

must do to

make dental decisions pre-chelation.

Thanks.
