Hi Steph,
The tooth was prepped last wednesday and the permanent will be placed on Oct. 7.
I read up on the galvanism and I read about the dissimilar metals issue. I am going to be getting my crowns replaced eventually with the same elite II crowns (perhaps the bruxzir if I need a post). The biggest issue is mixing amalgam with metals and I have none left-no more metal fillings.
This one tooth that's getting crowned wouldn't be a good candidate for the bruxzir because there is so little tooth left. The almost pure gold was better for this one. I also read about Huggins replacing nickel based crowns with gold and how the immune system got back to normal after the gold was placed.
As for the es I will have to see what happens. It's not an all Gold Crown, its porcelain fused to the gold so hopefully it won't be an issue. Fingers crossed.
Zirconium is a metal but zirconia is a ceramic from what I've been reading. The Lava Crown is zirconia fused to porcelain. the Bruxzir is all zirconia so stronger.
These are new on the market so who knows what we'll discover about them?
I know how you feel about not being able to get to the dentist. I am so tired dealing with this one tooth I'm hoping to take a few months off before replacing another one.
