[|Human|] I went to see a new dentist because I was having issues with my old and well I figured out the old dentist had placed aluminum crowns in my mouth not stainless steel as what I had actually paid for. The new dentist had told me that aluminum is not used in adult mouths anymore. It is strictly only used for baby teeth. My question is, is that true and if so where can I find that specific information? I have been trying to find that forever onlin
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns... As per your complaint it is very true that Aluminum crown are not used and the material commonly used in dental materials is an alloy containing Nickel, Cobalt and Chromium and in case if Aluminum is used it is not a correct practice. The other thing is that in crown made for kids also Aluminum is hardly used and commonly Stainless steel crowns or the similar alloy used for adults is used. As now, you are trying to get the crown replaced better get it fabricated by some trustworthy dentist who can get it fabricated using the correct material which will have a longer life and does not have any deleterious effect on dental tissues[both soft tissues and hard structure]. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five-Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
