The three main root end tooth infections are
called granulomas,cysts and condensing osteitis.
Granulomas and cysts, though they appear to be
quite similar, have distinctly different
characteristics.
Fistulas are channels that carry pus from the
infection area to the outside of the face or
mouth. They help the body drain away excessive
amounts of pus.
Condensing osteitis is rarely mentioned as a
root end infection process, but Dr. Price
found its presence to be accompanied by some
very specific infection related reactions.
Dr. Price made bacteriologic examinations of
three different dental infection areas.
To his surprise, he found, for the most part
that no matter how large an involved area or
how much pus was flowing, comparatively few
bacteria were present. He interpreted this
to mean the body’s white blood cells and
other defense mechanisms had good control of
the infection process present.
Furthermore, in such cases he found patients
to be in relatively good overall health and
that they did not exhibit the expected signs
and symptoms of systemic illness.
Dr. Price reasoned that the large areas of
bone destruction and pus about these infected
areas were not a measure of the severity of
infection, so commonly believed, but were in
actuality expressing the goodness of the
nvolved patient’s immune defense capability.
He (Dr. Price) further found that though the
organisms spread locally, they did not spread
to other parts of the body until the infection
had persisted for a prolonged period of time.
Condensing osteitis cases proved to be quite
different. This condition exhibits a very
dense area of bone, sometimes with very little
loss of bone at the tooth’s root end.
Patient histories and in-depth studies revealed
that people exhibiting condensing osteitis
suffered more serious consequences from their
infections. Price surmised that in such a case
the patient’s defense system was poor and the
body was trying to wall off the infected area
with dense bone in order to contain its effects.
However, the tissue as the root end was
incapable of controlling the bacterial growth
in these cases and consequently some bacteria
escaped through the bloodstream and set up
diseases in other areas.
Dr. Price also noted the teeth of such patients
became more tender and painful than those cases
that appeared to be more seriously involved.
These observations by Price are so diametrically
opposite to the average dentist hillsboro’s view and
comprehension of what is occurring that many
will have difficulty accepting these findings,
in spite of the fact they were derived from
studies of 1400 patients.
Numbers of case history examples were mentioned
in this chapter to lend insight into these
different infections and their effects. Included
was a picture of cancer of the lower jaw below
the roots of three lower front teeth which
appear to be a typical dental infection.
Such examples were shown to emphasize there are
other dental disease conditions than those
mentioned, but they represent a much smaller
proportion of cases and are not indicative of
the average person’s experience.
