<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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.
