(1) Root Canal Infectants and Treatment Method
By Dr. George Meining,D.D.S.,

* During treatment dentist place a Johson & Johnson
absorbent point saturated with a sterilizing medication
in the patient's tooth for a few days in order to kill
the bacteria causing the infection. The dentist then
removes the dressing and runs a dry, sterile absorbent
point into the canal, withdraws it, and places it in
a test tube containing a culture medium that easily
encourages the growing of acteria.

* When no growth occurs on the J&J point, the dentist
concludes the bacteria causing the infection have
been destroyed, and the root canal filling is placed.
When bacteria growth is still present, sterilizing
treatment medication is repeated until no bacteria
growth is evident. Dentists have been taught that
negative culture tests are proof of successful
sterilization.

* Price made tests of over a hundred different medica-
ments, including different strengths of each. With
only eight of the medications was he able to obtain
negative culture responses at the end of 24 hours.
and very few were negative after being in the root
canal for 48 hours. Testing for longer periods showed
that negative test results were impossible to obtain
since medication loses it disinfecting power.

In case you have any question about Dr. Price's ability
to adequately treat root canal infections, the following
x-ray picture of two central incisors he treated
around 1910 indicate they were as good as any treated
today.

In another very revealing series of tests, the root
canals of extracted teeth removed because of abscessing
were cleaned and sterilized. Using aseptic techniques,
the teeth were sectioned and both the dentin and cementum
cultured to see if they had been effectively sterilized.

* In each instance,both the dentin and cementum of all
teeth tested showed they were still infected.
The only exception was when concentrated formalin was
used. It showed sterility during 93 percent of the tests.
However, when formalin was used in the mouth, it produces
much pain that it could not be used.

In a case similar to that of the arthritic patient shown
in Chapter Two, Dr. Price made a small incision at the
gum line before the extraction, and with a curette removed
some bone at the neck of the tooth. Not only did tests on
the roots and cementum prove that they were loaded with
bacteria,but the bone right next to the tooth's root was
profusely infected as well.

These experimental tests demonstrated to Dr. Price the
belief previously held by himself nd his profession -
that infected teeth could be readily and effectively
sterilzed - was incorrect and that teeth could be
sterilized only in a small percentage of cases and
with great difficulty, or by using overly strong
medicaments.
