This information is provided to help you make decisions about the use of materials as tooth restorations in your mouth. Many types of metals are used in dentistry for the replacement and rehabilitation of oral structures. Most of these metals are considered to be inert when placed in the body, while others have been criticized as potential toxins or allergens to some people. Plastics and ceramics are used commonly as tooth restoratives, and these have not been shown to have adverse biologic responses. The following information will help you to make decisions about the type of tooth restorations you prefer to be placed in your mouth. Fillings (restorations of missing parts of single teeth) Crowns or Bridges (fixed protheses)
