THE DANGERS OF ROOT CANAL (& APICOECTOMY)(7)
rms us that in the Journal of Endodontics (12:124, 1986) an experiment was carried out on Sargenti’s Paste, with and without corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory substances) and Z.O.E. (zinc oxide powder and eugenol liquid) the classical filling paste now utilised in root canal work. This study was carried out at the Indiana University School of Dentistry. They found that "all three materials caused some degree of tissue necrosis (death), with the Z.O.E. causing the least". (Quote from Endodontic Newsletter, Hawaii). Dr. Carlson goes on to explain that he was informed by one of the leading endodontists (dentist) in Honolulu that "although techniques have improved, the materials have remained the same." The basic root canal material used today is gutta percha filler (a purified milky substance from a tree) and some type of sealer (a fluid, paste-like material). Furthermore, root canalled teeth may appear to be in good condition, but they can still affect our health. Dr. Price describes the following experiment. He was concerned about a patient who was confined to a wheelchair with severe arthritis. Although all her teeth appeared to be in good condition he decided to extract her one root-canalled tooth. He immediately embedded the tooth under the skin of a rabbit which in two days developed the same kind of crippling condition. (Whilst I strongly disagree with animal experimentation of any kind, I believe this nevertheless gives some weight to Dr.Price’s thesis).
During the last few years a good deal of information has come out about the adverse effects of mercury amalgam from fillings, but the effect of mercury from apicoectomy and the side effects of root-canal treatment has only been available, in this country, through little known books such as Are Your Dental Fillings Poisoning You? by Guy Fasciana and Root Canal Cover Up by George Meinig, both published in the USA. Here’s Health Magazine carried out a campaign on the adverse effects of mercury amalgam some years ago.
The public needs to be more informed about the possible side effects of this dental treatment. For the dental profession to simply say that ’more research is needed’ in my opinion does not stand up, in the light of 25 years of meticulous research by Dr. Price which clearly showed how the diseases of ill patients were transferred to animals by way of extracted root filled teeth; a
