Rabbit experiments and theories aside, can anyone point me to one decent study (on people) showing increased heart disease in those who have root canals? compared to those with similarly damaged teeth which have either not been treated, or were treated with alternatives.
I wish those old discussions/debates about root canals had been archived. Because I can't find the clear and present danger of root canal therapy at PubMed; for example these 2 university studies from Germany and Sweden both suggest that losing teeth is a bigger worry than getting root canal therapy in the ones you keep:
This study of 125 heart attack victims says they "exhibited an unfavorable dental state of health. After statistical adjustment for age, gender, and smoking, they exhibited a significantly higher number of missing teeth (P = .001), less teeth with root canal fillings (P = .0015), a higher number of radiologic apical lesions (P = .001), and a higher PSI value (P = .001) compared with individuals without myocardial infarction."
This study found "Only age and tooth loss were significantly associated with CHD... This cross-sectional study did not reveal a significant association between endodontically treated teeth and CHD nor between teeth with periapical disease and CHD."
Why do you keep quoting Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is mostly bath water. Throw it out for anything but trivia and non-science related topics.ofonorow wrote:Why throw out the baby with the bath water?
Not always true. Especially with sensitive topics that the establishment has a vested interest in.ofonorow wrote:(And if they are wrong, you can quarrel with what they have on their page, lets have at it!)[/color]
appears that they not only presented a history of the Amalgam filling but also INCLUDED the toxicity controversy. Wonder what their agenda might be.Wikipedia is mostly bath water.
