Overview Metal-free dentistry
Metal-free dentistry
Why?
Every piece of metal in our body is a burden for our organism and our immune system, i.e. our resistance power. No matter whether it is a gold filling, a metal crown or bridge.
Problems caused by metals
Why metal-free?
Let's go further into detail. Metals in tooth replacement materials are not uncommonly a long-term burden and are possible allergens. The impact of the burden caused by metals is always dependent on the extent and the duration of the burden (in the mouth it is 24 hours a day) as well as on the person's physical condition at any given time.
Metal-free implants
Here you can see some examples of metal-free dental care using ceramic implants.
Advantages
Everything we have said about "metal-free dentistry" applies all the more for implants, because implants are located not only in the oral cavity but directly in the jaw bone.
Not all ceramics are the same
Even zirconia ceramics can each have a completely different composition and be differently processed. Thus there are zirconia ceramics that are stronger and more resistant than other zirconia ceramics.
A short history
Probably the first metal-free implants were used by the Mayas already shortly after the beginning of the first century. To replace front teeth that were lost, they tapped appropriately formed, sharpened slats made of strong seashell into the tooth socket.
Biocompatibility test, i.e. methods for materials testing
Energetic, or more correctly bioenergetic, testing has so far been the yardstick. The basic measurements of the method we prefer to use, the Victor vital-point diagnosis, give a first impression of the current physical state of the person: stable, organ systems under stress, or exhausted.
Levels of testing
The lowest level is the structural level: is the organ altered in its structure? Evidence of this can be obtained, for example, by taking a tissue sample.
Above that is the functional level: are the liver values, the blood pressure, hormonal status, etc. right?
Is compatibility forever?
Energetic testing can give us a pretty clear picture of how biocompatible a certain type of ceramic is for a person. The material will hardly change, but there will indeed be external influences on a person like, on the positive side, a better job position, a new partnership, a tax refund.
