Has 2injections of Sculptra in Fall 2011. March 2012 had 4 tooth bridge . Within 3 days, developed several large nodules inside my cheeks and began experiencing saliva with excessive mucous flowing through bridge spaces. Have seen a 2nd dentist, a prosthodondist, an oral surgeon. All are certain the bridge is not the cause.
