Subject: RE: BS: Is,Superglue,poisonus?
Funnily enough I have a couple of things here for fixing broken teeth and crowns.
Cavitt is a paste but it has to be used quickly and mainly for filling holes in teeth but it does seem to fall out quickly and you have to ensure that the tooth is totally dry.
The other is dentanurse fixes anything comes with a needle a mirror and a wee spattula what more can you ask for. If you can when your oon your hodilays this is the one that I would recommend.
There is also a wee thing called Histacryll that is like super glue for skin and we use it in places such as the scalp in place of sutures in discreet places to save time and it also reduces the risk of infection due to the sealing of the wound from the outside elements. The thing is it's quite expensive and if your not quick it sticks to your gloves and to your patients head( oh I have done this) so a wee scalpul and more histacryll please
