Degenerative Disease Caused by Tooth Infections-Case Histories -Kidney

Kidney Trouble:

* Originally Dr. Price believed kidney infections only

remotely related to dental focal infections. He eventually

found, however, many 30 to 40 year olds were developing

nephritis (kidney disease) without the disease being

suspected by the patient or the physician. Invariably,

these patients were also found to have definite dental

infections.

The case report of a 41 year old married woman who was

suffering from rheumatism and heart trouble is of

particular interest. A routine urine analysis also

disclosed kidney involvement. Her extracted tooth was

cultured and a rabbit inoculated in a vein with one cc of

the 24-hour old culture. After 49 days, the rabbit died;

autopsy results are shown in the in the pictures on the

following page.

Stomach Ulcers:

Another case concerned a 43 year old woman who had been an

invalid for six years suffering from vervousness, neuritis,

and nervous indigestion. These symptoms were associated

indigestion. These symptoms were associated with

neuralgic pains that occurred at her waistline. Such cases

were usually grouped together as a alimentary trac and

associate organ lesions, as they involved the digestive

tract, the gall bladder, stomach, intestinal indigestion,

and the appendix.

Because this patient had a severe amount of condensing

osteitis (dense bone just below the roots), and such cases

usually showed little x-ray evidence of infection, all of

her upper teeth were removed. This brought a prompt

improvement in the patient's health which allowed her to

return to previous activities.

Most dentists would say that even though this patient had

severe osteitis, her root canal fillings appeared

satisfactory and the root of the upper left second bicuspid

appeared relatively easy to treat. However, a culture taken

from other teeth and inoculated into a rabbit produced the

ulcer you see in the accompanying picture.

Most who do endodontic treatments would have misjudged the

extent of the infection present in these teeth and their

relationship to the patient's six years of ill health,

which cleared on removal of her upper teeth.

Ovarian Cysts:

Lacking in the medical and dental literature of Dr. Price's

time was any teaching about acute and chronic infections of

the sex organs, or any mention of their relationship to

focal infection. Dr. Price found that a large number of

women with ovarian gland difficulties had infected teeth,

or teeth which contained root canal fillings.

Even though most women made excellent recoveries when

infected teeth were removed, Dr. Price stated he could not

determine whether the bacteria had an ability to select a

woman's ovaries, tubes and uterus or whether their

presence aggravated already compromised tissues. Over a

thousand rabbits were used to study the causes of these

frequent female problems.

A good example of the many cases investigated concerns a 20

year old unmarried woman whose distress at the time of her

menstrual period was so severe she was bed-ridden for

several days. In time it became obvious her physical and

mental health was being seriously affected.

Review of the history of her difficulties showed that some

five years previously she was hit by a golf ball over her

left ovary. She did not think the event significant as

there was no evidence of local injury and only a short

period of discomfort. At the time she did have some

infected teeth which she carried during the intervening

period.
