Uranium in dental crowns

[Joey Michael <joey-michael@UIOWA.EDU>]

I recieved a phone call from a woman who wanted to know about Uranium used 

in dental crowns.  I had not heard of this.  She wants to know how to find 

out if her crown has U in it.



What kind of exposure rate would one expect from something like this?  How 

much U was used?  Or is this just some more junk science that is scaring 

the general public.
