Re: Root Canals: Please Read Before Having an Extraction!

Here is what goldman says on his site

----------------------------
As far as Biocalex goes, I have stated on this website that there are several problems with it and that I will no longer use it (I only used it on about 6 patients and that was enough for me...). Several years ago I believe there was more info on Biocalex on the internet but now there isn't much at all. Most of the research was written and published in French. I can't read French....Those problems include:

1 Teeth being split by the Biocalex (while they deny that, of course, read the comments in THEIR literature).

2 Pain and strange discomfort after using Biocalex (not denied)

3 The Biocalex becomes invisible in the tooth making later diagnosis nearly impossible (not denied)

4 Biocalex becomes very hard inside the canals, making re-treatment difficult or impossible if needed later (not denied)

--------------------------

Number 3 has been solved by replacing some zinc oxide with yttrium oxide

Number 4 is correct but that seals the canals so the tooth can not be reinfected again.

It will need to get re-treatment if it gets reinfected.

Number 1 has been countered with a study by NIH.

I will try oil pulling before I resort to this.

Number 2 is kind of vague
