Re: OT: Research: Dental Cavitations and Health article

[Guest guest]

Debbie,

Thank you for a most informative article. I'm still reading the Root Canal

Cover-up & a thought came to my mind. Since Dr. Weston Price never did

experiments using rife to kill root canal bacteria, maybe it's possible that

rifing using dental foci could accomplish just that. I know that the last 2

times I rifed using a couple dental foci freqs, I really felt really lousy for a

long time each time. Much lousier than when I even rifed for Lyme. Your article

also specifically mentioned ozone as a treatment for cavitations. I hadn't read

or heard that anywhere except from my dentist (which I was skeptical about). I

feel better now that I have seen it stated elsewhere. I've been schedule to get

dental ozone shots on Fri. & I'm going to continue to rife using dental foci.

Anything's better than surgery, which in some cases, doesn't even get rid of the

cavitations & they come back. Much thanks again for the article.

: Dental Cavitations and HealthWhat are cavitations?   A cavitation is a hole

in the bone, often where a tooth has been removed and the bone has not filled in

properly. In the last several years, the term cavitation has been used to

describe various bone lesions which appear both as empty holes in the jawbones

and holes filled with dead bone and bone marrow. Dead, cavitational areas, which

produce pain, are now called NICO (Neuralgia Inducing Osteonecrosis) lesions.

Cavitations are often a result of either ischaemic osteonecrosis, due to poor

blood flow in the marrow, or a traumatic bone cyst. 

> In his book on oral pathology, Dr. G. V. Black, one of the early experts on

cavitations, suggested surgical removal of these dead bone areas. Other less

traumatic measures are now first used and surgery with curetting is used

primarily where the patient has significant health effects not resolved by other

means. When a tooth is being extracted, in what has been normal dental

procedure, the surrounding periodontal membrane is usually left behind. 

> Theoretically, when a tooth has been pulled, the body will eventually fill in

the space in the bone where the tooth once was. But when the membrane is left

behind, an incomplete healing commonly takes place which leaves a hole or a

spongy place inside the jaw bone. Experts speculate that perhaps this is

because the bone cells on either side sense the presence of the periodontal

membrane and " think " that the tooth is still there. This appears to be one

common cause of cavitations.

> Ododontic cysts are also commonly occurring usually in the gums at the tip of

a tooth, that have pockets of bacterial infection that can cause inflammation

and pain in some cases similar to cavitations. Bacterial infections are also

known to have systemic effects.

> A cavitation can form in any bone in the body, not just in the jaw bones.

There are also other reasons that cavitations form, some of which are localized

traumas, poor circulation to the area, clotting disorders, and the use of

steroids.

> On X-ray of an extracted tooth site, this membrane can form an image that

appears to be a shadow of a tooth. Almost always, this is indicative of a

cavitation. Most dentists are aware of this phantom tooth image, but they do not

recognize it as a site of potential problems. Other means of locating or

identifying cavitational areas include sonic imaging (CAVITAT), local

anaesthesia, Spect Scan, pressure to determine trigger points, Computer Electro

Dermal System, etc. While positive Spect Scans were found in 19 of 20 patients

with jaw pain, several control patients with no pain also had positive scans-

often finding previous jaw pathoses. Thus the Spect Scan was not sensitive at

differentiating painful from non-painful conditions. Some of the other methods

had more success at such differentiation. What’s hiding inside?Inside a

cavitation, bacteria flourish and deviant cells multiply. Cavitations act as a

breeding ground for bacteria and their toxins.

> Research has shown these bacterial waste products to be extremely potent.

Cavitations can also cause blockages on the body's energy meridians and can

exert far-reaching impact on the overall system. Investigation has revealed that

some cavitations are reservoirs of huge amounts of mercury and other toxic

substances. Cavitations may be a source of low level or high level stress on the

entire body. How toxic are cavitations and what type of effects are caused by

cavitations?The results of recent research of Dr. Boyd Haley (former Chairman,

Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky) show that ALL cavitation tissue

samples he's tested contain toxins, which significantly inhibit one or more of

the five basic body enzyme systems necessary in the production of energy. These

toxins, which are most commonly likely to be metabolic waste products of

anaerobic bacteria (bacteria which don't live in oxygen), may produce

significant systemic effects, as well

> as play an important role in localised disease processes, which negatively

affect the blood supply in the jawbone. There are indications that other types

of toxins also accumulate in cavitations, and when these toxins combine with

certain chemicals or heavy metals (for example, mercury), much more potent

toxins may form. 

> High levels of mercury are commonly found in some cavitations and in general

in the jawbone of those with mercury amalgam fillings and to have significant

local and systemic effects. Mercury is known to be extremely toxic and to

commonly cause chronic adverse local and systemic health effects. Yeast and

fungi have also been found to accumulate in cavitations, and to have significant

systemic effects.

> Accurate tests for cavitation-related bacterial toxins have been developed by

the Affinity Laboratory in Kentucky, based on research by Chemists from the

University of Kentucky Department of Chemistry. The toxins released by anaerobic

bacteria in cavitations have been found to be extremely toxic, and to have major

effects on necessary body enzymes and the immune system. Cavitations are very

commonOne study of cavitation incidence involved an analysis of 112 randomly

selected dental patient charts who had been tested for cavitations, with patient

age ranging from 19 to 83 years among 40 males and 72 females. The cavitations

were tested for using exploratory drilling. Cavitations were found at

approximately 75% of all extraction sites examined. 

> The most commonly extracted teeth, the third molars ('wisdom teeth'), produced

CVs that were found by clinical exploration in 313 out of 354 extraction sites

(88%). Cavitations were found in 35 of 50 second molar extraction sites (70%),

and for first molars, 60 of 73 extraction sites showed cavitations (82%). They

were found in 441 of the total number of 517 molar extraction sites explored

(85%). For the maxillary non-molars, CVs were found in 72 of 123 extraction

sites (58%), and for mandibular non-molars, 23 of 51 extraction sites were

affected (45%). For all non-molars, the cavitation rate was 55%, representing 95

of 174 extraction sites. Note that the cavitations found were not all related to

pain or known chronic conditions, and dental patients who had been tested for

cavitations is not the same as the general population, so the general population

likely has a somewhat lower cavitation incidence.

> Bob is the inventor of the CAVITAT †"  an ultrasound instrument

designed to detect and image cavitations that has been approved for testing for

cavitations by the FDA after undergoing FDA clinical trials. He found

cavitations of various sizes and severity in approximately 94% of several

thousand wisdom teeth sites scanned. He also found cavitations under or located

near over 90% of root canal teeth scanned in both males and females of various

ages from several different geographic areas of the United States. Note again

that the population being tested for cavitations in these trials is not the same

as the general population, which might have a somewhat lower incidence of

cavitations. But its clear that the occurrence is very common.

> Confirmation of cavitation necrosis and toxicity is commonly by 2 or the

leading labs in the U.S. with technology for performing such tests, the

Maxifillio Center in West Virginia and the Affinity Laboratory in Kentucky.

Analysis typically finds clear evidence of chronic intraosseous inflammation †"

often with dense marrow fibrosis or non-resorbing necrotic bone flakes with very

little healing or new bond formation. It has also been found that these lesions

often spread to other areas to initiate further cavities. Root canals and

cavitationsResearch has demonstrated that virtually all root canals result in

residual infection due to the imperfect seal that allows bacteria to penetrate.

The most commonly used material in root canals is gutta percha, which is soaked

with chloroform and heated. But when the chloroform evaporates and the gutta

percha cools, there is significant shrinkage in all such root canal fillings,

which allows entrance of bacteria. A

> condition that commonly occurs with root-canalled teeth is a radicular or

periapical cyst or apical periodontitis, which is a pocket of bacterial

inflammation that often forms in the gums at the tip of root-canalled teeth due

to bacteria inhabiting the tooth. These are the most common type of cysts that

form in the gums and can also be a factor in formation of cavitations in the

neighbouring jawbone. Once established, non-mutans streptococci, enterococci

and lactobacilli appear to survive commonly following endodontic root-canal

treatment of teeth with clinical and radiographical signs of apical

periodontitis. Large scale tests found cavitations under or located near

approximately 90% of root canal teeth scanned in both males and females of

various ages from several different geographic areas of the United States. The

general population could be somewhat different from this sample as the sample

was not a random sample. In tests of 745 randomly chosen

> root-canalled teeth at a dental school, done at least 1 year prior to test,

33% were found to have apical periodontitis.

> The toxins given off by these bacteria are often even more toxic than mercury.

The bacterial toxins from root-canalled teeth and associated cavitations can

cause systemic diseases of the heart, kidney, uterus, immune, nervous and

endocrine systems (see later).

> A useful and commonly used test to assess the cause of toxic related chronic

health conditions is the urinary fractionated porphyrin test, which measures the

degree that toxic exposures have blocked digestive enzymatic processes necessary

to the function of the body, by looking at the level of various waste porphyrins

in the urine caused by these blockages. The level of such toxic related

porphyrins in the urine of people with chronic conditions including

Parkinson’s have been found to decline in some patients after cavitation

treatment (or amalgam removal). This is also been found for many cases of Lupus

and MS. Lupus symptoms are often associated with blockage and resulting high

levels in urine of Uriporphyrin, while MS is more commonly associated with high

Coproporphyrin. Cavitation treatment usually results in significant pain

improvementCavitations commonly cause adverse health effects, and many thousands

of cavitations have been treated. They

> are commonly tested or biopsied by labs having the expertise to provide these

services, and virtually all that have been tested or biopsied were found to be

associated with dead, necrotic tissue and extreme toxicity. The types of

conditions that cavitations have been most commonly related to are atypical

facial neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic sinusitis, phantom toothache

pain, and headaches including migraines.

> Dr. Breiner, DDS, and others recommend two primary methods of treatment for

their patients. First is a procedure where special homeopathic medications

called Sanum remedies are injected into the cavitation site, and then a modified

form of infrared light or low level laser light therapy is applied to the area.

In some cases the light therapy alone has been sufficient to resolve the

problem. This is often successful in cases related to smaller cavitations with

primarily poor blood flow or bacterial toxin effects. Cavitations have also been

treated successfully using oxygen/ozone therapy. Although cavitations are very

common, they should only be treated surgically if there is indication of a

relation to pain or chronic health effects not resolved by other means. There

are various ways to assess this.

> If this method is not successful, the alternative is to surgically open the

area and clean the remaining ligament and resultant debris from the bone. Every

biopsy of bone material he has collected from cavitation surgeries has shown

osteonecrosis, or dead bone material. In all studies reviewed, the majority of

those undergoing surgery for NICO pain had significant pain relief after

surgery. Clinical experience indicates that delays in treatment can lead to

further infections, and the majority of patients have long term pain relief.

However as much as 30% may have reoccurrence or new cavitations that lead to

reoccurrence of pain. Prior to bone marrow biopsy the average NICO patient has

been in pain for 6 years (up to 32 years), usually diagnosed as atypical facial

neuralgia/pain, but also diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia, chronic sinusitis,

phantom toothache/pain, and various headaches, including migraine headache.

However treatment has also been

> successful at eliminating rheumatoid arthritic pain. French and German oral

surgeons have developed an alternative method of minimally invasive cavitation

surgery.

> Due to the nature of the mechanisms related to cavitation formation, it is not

uncommon for cavitation sites that are treated to become re-infected or to

accumulate other toxins that can cause a relapse of symptoms. Such cases may

require retreatment using either surgery or other options. Chronic health

conditions other than pain related to cavitations and oral bacteria levelsMany

researchers today believe that NICO lesions, like periodontal disease, is the

focus of various infections which may spread throughout the body and have

systemic effects. In the last few years, some of the most surprising medical

news has been the discovery that bacteria from the mouth appear to be very

influential in causing various heart, liver, kidney, and immune problems. 

> Researchers from New York University found that certain bacteria from the

mouth may be related to preterm delivery and low birth weight according to a

study in the Journal of Periodontology. The presence of specific bacteria and

combinations of bacteria in periodontal pockets also appears to be responsible

for the relationship between periodontal disease and acute coronary syndrome

(ACS), according to a new study published in the Journal of Periodontology.

> Dr. Weston Price was a prominent dental researcher leading a medical research

team on the relation between root-canal teeth and chronic health conditions.

Through a long series of well documented clinical cases and experiments his team

found that root-canals accumulate bacteria that give off extreme toxins

sufficient to cause serious health conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular

conditions, arthritis, neurological conditions, kidney conditions, etc. Dr.

Meinig, one of the founders of the endodontic association has reviewed the

research of Dr. Price and others and is in agreement with their findings.

> Many doctors and dentists through their experience with patients have reached

similar conclusions. They have had large numbers of patients who have had such

health conditions significantly improve after treatment of root canals or

cavitations along with other detoxification measures. A collaborative study by

the North Carolina Institute of Technology using advanced tests developed by

Affinity Laboratory has demonstrated the mechanisms by which cavitations can

cause cancer.

> Modern experiences also support this theory. Dr. Issels, a German physician,

recommends extraction of root canal teeth as part of his protocol for terminal

cancer patients. Over the last 40 years with 16,000 patients, he has observed a

24% total remission rate.

> Dr. Florian Kubitzek, a physician and dentist in Munich, Germany, uses the CT

scan to study the teeth and jaw. His scanning technique has been invaluable in

diagnosing jaw abscesses below the teeth that have been inadequately treated by

standard dentistry. Conventional dental X-rays have entirely missed the jaw

abscesses known as cavitations. Kubitzek treats many cancer patients who have

dental cavitations as a collaborative approach in the overall treatment of

metastatic and primary cancer.

> Dr. Diamond (MD) says that all patients with breast cancer that he has

tested had " root-canals on the tooth related to the breast area on the

associated energy meridian. "  

> Other clinics that treat cancer have similarly found that most of their

patients with cancer have root-canalled teeth or cavitations and that treating

these is an important part in success at treating cancer.

> Research and clinical cases have found cavitations to be related to many

chronic health conditions which have improved after cavitation treatment,

including cancer, congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular problems,

lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune conditions- perhaps related to

cavitations major effects on the immune system. 

> If you have a joint implant or mitral valve prolapse, your dentist must

prescribe an antibiotic before any dental treatment. Why? Because bacteria from

the mouth can spread through the blood to cause serious problems elsewhere in

the body. There is growing evidence that the toxins from NICO lesions do the

same. Further resourcesThe fully referenced PDF version of this research

Susie,I didn't read the whole book, looking up key words in the index and scanning thru parts of it was enough for me.

Heard about ozone a few years ago, but never looked into it since I thought cavitations should be cleaned out to the fresh bone and let blood

clot form, and then new bone growth finally... The article mentioned ozone for small cavitations, and that cavitation surgery should be done if there are still health problems... How often are ozone shots and are they bothersome? One of your root canals is very very old and there're cavitations. Do you know of dentist who has a Cavitat machine, I read that not many dentists have them. I'd travel a bit for a Cavitat and dentist I felt ok about. I've also read that not all biological dentists are all that (biological). Here's a video with a Cavitat machine in it - a ultrasound machine, with no radiation, uses sound waves to scan the jaw to detect defects in the bone: http://www.thenaturalrecoveryplan.com/620_Cavitations--Dental-Health/multimedia/details.html--- Debbie,

Debbie,

I've had several ozone shots just in the gums for cold sensitivity. It has

helped with that. But now he's going to inject for the cavitations. I don't

know how many or how often I'll have to get them. The novocaine shots

beforehand are what's bothersome. He doesn't just inject one time for 1 site,

he goes all along the gum in & out with the needle several time. Then he does

the ozone shot. I can't take regular novocaine, but have even had some reaction

to the epinephrine-free one because there were so many injections of novocaine.

Last time I asked him to use less novocaine & the ozone shots burned for a short

time. But now with him injecting into the tip of the bone, I might need more of

the novocaine again. I'll have to ask him before he begins.

No dentist has a cavitat in NJ. I called DAMS & they gave me 1 dentist in Pa &

1 in Ohio that have it. I have to make some calls now & get more info.

The video page was unavailable but that's ok. Thanks for the info.

I was able to get the video from this post now. The dentist says a cavitation

is from an extracted tooth that didn't heal properly. But I read in other

places that cavitations form from infected root canal teeth as well. Those are

the cavitations I'm interested in finding out about. Thanks.

Right Susie, both root canal and extracted tooth that didn't heal properly can cause cavitations. Toxic bone rot to spread. Dr. Erwin said in video, cavitations the size of a pea and as big as a walnut or

bigger.A few weeks ago a lady told me a dentist said she had some bone loss and that she needed her own bone or 'cadaver bone' implanted (not done).

I was able to get the video from this post now. The dentist says a cavitation is from an extracted tooth that didn't heal properly. But I read in other places that cavitations form from infected root canal teeth as well. Those are the cavitations I'm interested in finding out about. Thanks.

I didn't see that part about cavitations being treated with local

anesthetic--that doesn't make sense, that's only novocaine. He just got done

saying biological dentists don't use novocaine. So what are they supposed to

use to relieve their patient's pain during dental procedures--that doesn't make

sense either. Everything has to be read for info only & not taken as gospel.
