Biocompatibility Testing and Issues

The ultimate goal of holistic dental advisors is to use compatible biomaterials for patients during dental procedures, to ensure improved patient outcomes. The human body has a unique ability to accept or reject foreign particles that are introduced into it’s systems. This immunogenicity is translated through an exaggerated inflammatory response in the body. The dilemma of non-compatible biomaterials is that unlike other foreign particles, they remain embedded within the mouth for ages.

In order to eliminate this dental toxicity, safety practices such as biocompatibility testing are carried out by dental personnel before enunciating therapy. Serum biocompatibility testing is carried out by obtaining a sample from patient’s blood and testing it against thousands of dental materials in order to identify the hidden culprit. The process of biocompatibility testing is quite draining and may take almost two weeks. The most common biomaterials to be tested for compatibility issues include porcelain, metallic alloys and composite resins that are employed in various dental procedures. In this way, we are sure of which materials to insert into the oral cavity and which to abstain from.

Holistic Dental Advisors promote dental personnel to evaluate the patient holistically and look for pre-disposing allergic patterns to dental materials efficiently and effectively, before initiating a suitable treatment plan.
