(1) Gum Infection, Dental Infections was Directly
Related to the Patient's Calcium Metabolism
By Dr. George Meining,D.D.S.,
When more supporting bone was lost and the
pyorrhea pockets became deeper, the overall
conditions and outlook changed remarkably.
The surprise was the number of systemic body
changes found to take place. Among them were the
considerable amount of absorption of bone; the
occurrence or non-occurrence of dental caries
(cavities); changes in the uric acid level; and,
in addition, changes in the blood and saliva of the
ionic calcium level, and its urea nitrogen content.
In time it became apparent the presence or absence of
of gum infections was directly related to the
patient's calcium metabolism. When the ionic level of
calcium in the blood was higher than normal, the
supporting gum and bone tended to be absorbed
away more easily in the presence of irritation.
At the same time, studies of saliva revealed it to
be more alkaline than usual when periodontal disease
was active. Another big surprise occurred when the
contents of the pus pockets were found to be very
alkaline, having a pH as high as 7.7, when dentists
would assume it be acid. The pH of the blood and
saliva when normal is 7.4.
One would think that when teeth affected by periodontal
disease are extracted there would be some difficulties
with healing. Quite the contrary, sockets developed
good blood clots and healed rapidly, without pain or
the development of a dry socket.
On the other hand, those cases marked by the formation
of the dense bone of condensing osteitis below the
tooth's root end proved to be painful, healed slowly,
they developed blood clots that easily broke down, and
many of these cases developed the dreaded dry socket.
An analysis of the saliva of such patients showed it
to be lower in alkalinity and the blood lower in
ionic calcium.
