It seems that they used to put uranium in dental porcelain.

Does this still hold true? 76.67.97.228 (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Is there a better source than Cecil? If not, then no, unless it's part of the conspiracy :-) Shot info (talk) 03:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I simply asked a legitimate question, and you feel free to comment on my character? As you say I did to Kwami? Follow your own rules you cite to me above.

As to whether uranium was ever used in dental porcelain, it was. Here are the sites you asked for. Not Cecil's. But he was right that uranium was used.

And despite your rude answer, I did find the answer to my question, which was no. Uranium is no longer used in dental porcelain. 76.67.97.228 (talk) 05:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
