root canal?

[Guest guest]

Mercury & RCT While we feel that root canal therapy (RCT) is often not

indicated (see our report, Can RCT Make You Sick?), there are times when RCT is

less a negative than extraction.

 

In doing RCT, there are times when the tip of the root must be sealed by a

surgical procedure, an 'apicoectomy.' They use mercury-amalgam to seal the

tip -- sealed into the jaw! Insanity! For years we warned against this.

 

New research agrees - shows that mercury toxically causes cell injury to the

tissues around the root's tip - to say nothing about systemic harm. They now

suggest using cold burnished gutta-percha with AH26 sealer instead of the

mercury-amalgam.
