A big scandal might soon brake loose in the most
successful department of medicine – Private Stomatology. Its Scale and
Consequences might be overwhelming. |

Many Stomatologyst gathered around a “round table”
and revealed the truth to journalists about the most popular thing
nowadays, nickel metal ceramics. Among its brethren such as zirconium,
titan, chrome and cobalt – nickel is not just the cheapest of them,
but also very bad for patients health due to result of medical
research and revealed statistics. |

The Poison in
your Mouth |
|

·
Among our patients we started to notice a consistent
pattern, - Telling Mariah Kolesnichenko, main doctor
in the department of stomatology clinic of laser
medicine which participated in the “round table”. |
|

|
|

· Very often our patients to
which we installed such metal ceramics would come to us and tell us
that they feel pain in their gums, a feeling of, as they would say:”
chemical pencil “in their mouth or a constant metallic smack. A
portion of the patients blamed us for “our” ceramics cause of after
its installation they experienced problems with their stomach.
However, as many other Doctors that worked with the same ceramics,
along with me, thought that it was just a high susceptibility of
certain patients. In two words these complaints were not taken
seriously. However, after some time when we found a consistent pattern
in these patients. We discovered that all of them were with nickel
metal ceramics. Since other metals did not create such side effects.
The reason for this was not in the metal itself but in its oxide.
Oxide of the nickel is a poison. Since you can’t pressurize a
denture, sooner or later even in a minimal quantity an Oxide will
appear. And from this moment on, a patient will have exasperation and
from this will come pain in their gums, chemical pencils and
gastritis.
There’s no regulation on the use of metals in Stomatology. In the long
run its not a doctor who will decide what metal will be used in the
process, but a patient since he’s the one paying for it. |

· Nickel
is the cheapest of them all, - continues Mariah. – Most of the time
only by this criteria the patient will choose this metal. What’s the
difference for someone who does not know difference, cause neither
nickel nor titan prosthesis with ceramics will look just the same in
the patient’s mouth. Most of the Stomatology Doctors do not know of
the consequences or just try to not to think about them. Judge for
yourself, a change of a metal for other metals which are harder and
more capricious then nickel, this means a total reorganization of a
process. You’ll need to buy new equipment, teach your dental
technicians to work with new metal, in short just a total headache.
And for what? Just to loose some portion of patients that are not
ready to pay more for different metals in ceramics? |

In the USA nickel alloys are allowed, but for many
years most of Doctors did not work with them,
because in most of the universities professors say
that nickel alloys are very bad for patients
health. The same can be said in Germany, but
they are very happy to supply Russians with their
nickel alloys. As a side note, one of the high
level officials in the Dentist Association of
Russia is making quite a business in nickel
alloys, so if any one has something against this
metal, or even talking against it can easily get
his head off the shoulders. Among all European
countries, Russia has the highest percent of
people that suffer from inflammation of their
gums. The nickel metal ceramics is contributing a
great deal to this number. And if you didn’t know
today, it has been proven that there is a chain
reaction from inflammation of gums that can lead
to apoplexy and
infarct. The Chain
is simple: chronically inflammation in gums – the
raise of leukocyte in blood – the risk of blood
clot creation. If you want it real short, put a
nickel metal ceramics and get an infarct. Or heart
attack. |

Or
there’s a choice: bronchial asthma, pneumonia, reins or liver disease.
This is because nickel will provoke a fall of the patient’s natural
immunity to diseases. In other words it’ll cause an allergic reaction.
By the words of the Swiss Academy of Stomatology, “if a mother has a
nickel metal ceramics in her mouth her baby will be born ‘ready’ for
any of disease.” |
