Dear listmates -
Here is a list of manufacturers and products that I researched
for GF status - dental materials for cleaning, and dental materials
for crown work.
DENTAL PRODUCTS that MANUFACTURERS SAY ARE GLUTEN-FREE
These are for Crown Work (Temporary and Permanent) and for Cleaning
Please note - These products are only gluten-free if all personnel using
them at the dentist's office wear powder-free gloves, and if instruments
are gluten-free.
Technical Support answers inquiries on content at most of these
companies. If there is no Technical Support Department, ask for
Research and Development.
One or two companies would only talk with my dentist.
I have listed some of the products I inquired about. This is only a few
of the products these manufacturers make. I inquired about these
specific products because my dentist is using them for my crown work.
There are many other possibilities. Unfortunately, the Clifford Test
showed I am reactive to the other possibilities.
3M and 3M ESPE 800 344-8235 3M
800 237-1650 3M ESBE
Manufacturer says all dental products are gluten-free. 3M and ESPE
merged in March.
Impregnum Penta base paste - Permanent crown impression material
Durelon temporary crown material
Protemp Garant temporary crown material
Visiofil composite
Visiogem
ETCHANT by 3M - This one tested as Suitable in the Clifford test, but
not ETCH:

Cook-Waite 800 933-8031, but Cook-Waite products are made by:
Abbott Pharmaceuticals 800 615-0187
Dealing with Abbott is very frustrating. You can't get past voice
mail. So, if you call Abbott:
Follow the prompts for product complaints and leave voice mail -
Complain that you can't get a live person to ask any questions!
I am awaiting a reply to find out if Carbocaine 3% injectable local
anesthetic is gluten-free. I don't see anything in the ingredients that
could be gluten, but I'm checking.

Dentsply 800 532-2855
