Root Canals in Dentistry and Propylene Glycol (PG)

[VWFringe]

Several years ago it was found that propylene glycol was an effective carrier for anti-biotics inside the tooth (it spread the anti-biotics throughout the dentene).
So, PG instead of water, allows anti-biotic to penetrate the infected tooth. Instead of scraping away all of the infected dentene, they simply allow it to heal, and the tooth then (quickly) starts to re-mineralize.

so, most of the root-canals done in America are not neccessary.

How long do you think they'll drag their feet, to make sure those root-canal fees don't dry up?
Even though it works, there's only one dentist in Japan who advertises his work on the Internet.

I can't imagine how much foot traffic a dentist would be able to get advertising an alternative to root canals, but i think they'll hide behind the "standard of care" argument as long as they can. What do you think?

google "3mix-MP" or "Lesion Sterilization Tissue Repair" (LSTR) and you'll see how easy it is to mix this stuff up, i have a dentist was really looking forward to doing my root canal, but there's no way i'm agreeing to it now. so upsetting.

Sounds interesting! I know other countries do things different with root canals also.
I wonder how many times this would need to be used and how do you keep it where it needs to be.
I looked for your reference search but there are so many links.

3mix-MP (from wikipedia japan): Google Translate

when i contacted another dentist they said they didn't want to because it would require more than one visit, and isn't in the standard of care (calif)
seems keeping ones teeth would trump number of visits, but we live in the age of the carwash
I believe it's normally closed up and checked again a few months later, unless it's a large opening and lots of inflamation (from my reading)

More than one visit, well so what!
It seems to me that the least intrusive way would be the best and not removing the roots would certainly be less intrusive. I have had several root canals now and most of the time it is more than one visit so I really don't see the issue with that. Must be more about the money like everything thing else is.
Dentistry hasn't really changed in years and it's time for some changes in that field too.
I did hear just a few years ago that growing new teeth was being seriously worked on, that would be a really good option too but it would probably be more than implants.
Keep looking, maybe you can find a more natural dentist that would be happy to try this method instead of the usual standard.
