ok two maybe four cases, it just seems way too convenient for the nadl. all of this couldn’t have come to light at a better time, right in the middle of their push for new fda regs. i’m still skeptical. when the lead paint in toys from china came to light, as awful as it is, i understand lead in paint. paint benefits from having lead in it just like gasoline. i know lead paint in kids toys is horrible i’m not ok w/ that. i’m just saying lead makes paint better. lead in no way benefits dental restorations. it just seems to me people are playing on the public fears. if you use the words china and lead along with any product in the same sentence you instantly create fear in uninformed people. i’m not saying lead wasn’t found in four crown i’m saying the only thing missing is the silver plater it was served on to the nadl.
There is a website where you can post questions and get them answered by dentists:

there is also an article about lead and dental work
It is a public service website run by dentists.

That’s it, the lead found in one of the crowns (maybe more) was in the porcelain (glass color looking structure). They are using it to cover the metal substructure. If it isn’t right to be in kids toys, how can it be right to be in someone’s mouth? Just so you know......Kids toys were tested to have 91 ppm of lead content, one of these Chinese crowns had 212 ppm of lead content.....
