Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Lynn, From what I understood with my extraction, it was very important to let the blood clot and build a covering over the hole where the tooth was. I was warned not to wash that clot away for a few days. Did they tell you this? Try not to irrigate it too much. I wish I could remember....I don't think I was given any antibiotics, not even a special mouthwash, but told to use salt water. I swished with salt water, I wish I could remember the whole treatment plan! I'm sorry! I'll have to look in my records and see what I have. You might want to do some more internet searching on the proper removal procedures and see if there is any recommendations for after care.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, I did not take any antibiotics either, I used a salt-water rinse often. And I had to let the blood clot over the hole.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Here are a few to get started, but these don't discuss aftercare much. http://webpages.charter.net/kyarbrough/rootcanals.htm Protocol for Removal of a Root Filled Tooth For those dentists and oral surgeons who want to truly restore the health of patients whose root canal filled teeth are to be removed, the following protocol is strongly suggested. This is not the only way this procedure can be carried out but it is one that has been used very successfully since 1990. After the tooth has been removed, slow-speed drilling with number 8 round burr is used to remove one millimeter of the entire bony socket, including the apex area. The purpose of the procedure is to remove the periodontal ligament and the first millimeter of bone as they are usually infected with toxins that are produced by streptococcus bacteria living in the dentin tubules. The periodontal ligament is always infected, and most of the time the bone will also be infected. While this procedure is being done, irrigate the socket with sterile saline via a Monoject 412, 12cc syringe. This has a curved plastic tip and is very handy in carrying out the procedure. Two or three syringes of solution may be needed, but they are much easier to use than one large 50cc syringe. The purpose of the flushing action is to remove the contaminated bone as it is cut. In cutting the bone, not only are the toxins removed, but the bone is " perturbed. " This perturbation of the bone stimulates a change from osteocytes to osteoblasts. The blast cells are the ones that generate new bone formation. After the socket has been cut, it should be filled with a non- vasoconstrictor anesthetic. Allow the liquid local anesthetic to set for about thirty (30) seconds. Next, suction should be applied gently to the socket area so that the majority of the anesthetic is removed, but there is still a substantial coating of the anesthetic over the bony interior. This further perturbs the bone cells to encourage osteoblastic action and bone healing. The use of PZI (protamine zinc insulin suspension USP) is recommended for those people who are familiar with its usages; three units is adequate. It is believed that the use of antibiotics may convert the osteoblasts back into osteocytes, leaving a cap of bone over the socket area; but the internal portion may not heal and years later may be found to be an empty socket lined by the deleterious effects of the autoimmune process. The simple procedure provided in this protocol may be copied by readers or by dentists, physicians, or other health practitioners in order to assure that patients having infected teeth removed will also have all adjoining infected tissue removed, thereby providing for full return to health. Incidentally, when this protocol is followed, the tooth socket heals much more rapidly, with less bleeding and pain. pg. 185 - 186 " Root Canal Cover-Up Exposed " by Dr. Meinig. http://www.whale.to/d/meinig1.html Dr. LaMarche: That's what we're now recommending no matter why you have to take a tooth out - even if it isn't infected, then a protocol needs to be followed and that protocol means that the dentist after he removes the tooth he also removes the periodontal ligament or membrane which is a fibrous tissue that holds the tooth in the socket, that's what keeps the tooth from failing out. That becomes infected and it's still attached very securely to the surrounding bony socket and so what we recommend is that the dentist go in with a slow moving drill and remove that periodontal membrane and about 1 mm of the bony socket in order to prevent these infections from occurring. And strangely enough we find in many areas for instance, wisdom teeth when they're removed, even though they were healthy teeth - for some reason or another they very often develop a cavitation around them. Some 400/0 of all wisdom teeth extractions develop cavitations and the thing that should be done and what we're thinking is better to be done, is to remove that periodontal membrane at the time you remove the tooth and some of the surrounding bone in order to prevent this from happening. Lee: Well, that's great when you're getting a tooth extracted by a dentist that knows this research and knows the procedure, but what about all those people who have wisdom teeth? I mean most of us have had our wisdom teeth extracted and they've grown over and the dentist didn't know and so then you have a situation where you probably have to go in again and clean that out as you were describing. We'll take a break and take some phone calls when we come back and what we're going to do is have information only about the topic - cavitations, root canals, nutrition.
