Dear Enquirer,
You are perfectly safe regarding crowns being placed in your mouth that contain metal. Any laboratory that is registered with the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and the Medical Devices Regulations (MDR)have to follow a set of criteria that guarantees consistency and quality of materials used in the manufacture of your crown. As the metal is cast, there is no danger of any leakage of chemicals from the crown and there is certainly no risk of mouth or gum cancer. Put your mind at rest and do not worry at all about this.
I hope this helps,
