Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeah, this common stitching up of dental extractions makes no sense when the research shows leaving wounds open is important to rapid healing. To stitch up an area in your mouth that's probably been exposed to massive amounts of resistant bugs living in the dentist office makes no sense at all. The extraction itself promotes infection, then add a bunch of new bugs and you've got a recipe for disaster. Bacteria can travel through the miles of dentin tubules you have, and next thing you know, you've got a systemic infection. :-( penny Below is a description (provided by a friend) of the best way to extract teeth (rotation). Dental students are taught this procedure but don't do it because it's time consuming. Also, there are oral surgeons out there who don't stitch up extractions. It's really hard to find a good oral surgeon, but if you've got an active infection, a good scan should show it. Then, when they go in and try to clean it up, be sure they send samples to the lab (excluding nothing). Another good thing to do with any extraction is always take the tooth home. It can be tested later for necrosis, a result of bone infection. If it's black or crumbly, it's probably necrotic. Another thing people aren't aware of. Mercury expands forever, so one reason mercury is bad for you is not it's toxicity (nickel is probably more toxic) but the fact that it causes your teeth to crack, which gives bacteria a direct pipeline into your dentin tubules. OGRAM EXTRACTION TECHNIQUE Safer way to extract teeth During the surgical extraction of teeth it is very important to remove the PDL, bundle bone, and lamina dura. It is also VERY IMPORTANT not to use adjacent teeth to wedge an elevator to loosen the tooth. The slight movement at the top is magnified at the apex to large excursion because the center of the rotation is so high. This elevation can damage the nerves and blood going into the adjacent tooth and cause it to die, The Ogram Technique is less traumatic way to extract teeth. Most people think that bone expands by wedging with an elevator. This is not true it fractures. Irrigation should be SALINE the same used for orthopedic surgery. Harsh irrigation can kill bone cells and tissue and make matters worse.This is one reason why pain can persists and multiple surgeries are required. Do not use anything on the bone that has not been proven safe. Section tooth in half lexiate sp? the individual roots along there long axis. { rotation movement only} NO BUCAL OR LINGUAL FORCE on any adjacent teeth It's very important to remove the intersecting bone between the two teeth. NO VASOCONSTRICTOR or EPINEPHRINE (destroys ability to receive blood in the area) LIDOCANE OR CARBOCANE ONLY Because blood supply is very important > > > > > > Penny, > > > > > > > I don't even have symptoms of a sinus infection, but the organisms > > > > are living happily in there, creating havoc throughout my body. > > > > > > I've been trying to follow this thread and I think you mentioned > > > earlier that you got a CT scan.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Penny, that's exactly what I'm sure happened. I deep-down feel it was not my own bugs that infected my socket. It's when she stitched it up that she contaminated it--her assistant was so nervous about stitching she hardly knew what to do. I was so upset I was crying, begging her NOT to stitch it at all so it wouldn't get infected, but she said she had to close the office (it was 4 pm friday already) and that I was 'bleeding excessively' i.e. not clotting yet. The reason in retrospect it was taking longer to clot (It wasn't like I was gushing all over, just wasn't clotting yet, and I've read you can sometimes wait 2 hours for it to clot) was she pulled out a piece of bonea ndf ractured the socket so no wonder! My body knew what it was doing. What a mess she made, and after all my years of being careful, having all mercury amalgams removed long ago, and nary a root canal or crown. > > > > > > > > Penny, > > > > > > > > > I don't even have symptoms of a sinus infection, but the > organisms > > > > > are living happily in there, creating havoc throughout my > body. > > > > > > > > I've been trying to follow this thread and I think you > mentioned > > > > earlier that you got a CT scan.
