In connection with a post we made last March, more people are getting on to the panic stage when it comes to their dental implants.
It seems that people are now questioning and even abstaining from dental implants ever since the February report in Ohio where a woman got sick because of lead found in her multi-unit bridge. It turned out that the material came from China.
The American Dental Association (ADA) said that dental restorations nor implants should not have any kind of lead in them.
“In spite of no new information on the possible extent of this problem, media reports on ‘contaminated’ dental materials produced in foreign dental laboratories have become frequent,” the ADA’s president, Mark J. Feldman, stated in letters to the two agencies. “There are disquieting reports of patients declining recommended treatment because of unsubstantiated fears.”
