(1) The spirochete and other organisms in the mouth.
By Dr. George Meining,D.D.S.,
Compared to streptococcal infections, spirochetes are
represented in only a small percent of the total number
of dental infections. Even less involved, but nevertheless
significant to patients when they occur, are infections
from parasites.
Dr. Price reported a case in which a woman patient had a
huge asscess in her neck from a fistula of a lower infected
molar tooth. Even after the tooth was extracted, the
chronic abscess resisted treatment efforts for many weeks.
A bacterial examination disclosed the presence of a large
number of amoeba.
Treatment for amoebic parasites promptly stopped the
infection. On the following page are pictures of this
woman's condition: the fistula training under her chin,
an x-ray picture showing her teeth and the infected tooth
socket, plus a microscopic slide picture of the amoeba
parasites causing her distress.
Amoeba were also found to nearly always be present in pyorrhea
gum pockets, and in at least one instance the parasite had
penetrated into the adjacent bone. It is hoped that learning
of the preseence of such organisms and the local and systemic
harm they can cause will stimulate all readers to seek reuglar,
competent prophylaxis care by a dentist or dental gygienist
every three to six months.
While the foremost difficulties investigated by Price concerned
infections in the root canal and other tooth parts involving
streptococcus organisms, in thiss chapter we have tried to point
out some other organisms that can be responsible for systemic
disease.
