The perfect filling of a root canal should
completely fill and seal the canal to the very tip
of the root.
With all the research done on by untold numbers of
investigations, this ideal has yet to be accomplished.
Keep in mind that any space not occupied by the
root canal filling can be contaminated by the
ingress of bacteria often present in the bloodstream
and by bacteria present in dentin tubules.
The fact that 30 percent of people with root canal
fillings were free of complicating degenerative
disease does not alter the concern about the
continuing presence of bacteria in their root filled
teeth. To the 70 percent who are suffering health
problems, inadequately filled root canals add insult
to injury.
Most of the spaces remaining after filling are due
to shrinkage of the root filling material.
Gutta-percha, still the most widely used root filling
material, was scientifically tested by Dr. Price
using a packing device he invented to eliminate
usual packing technique difficulties, yet not a
single test filling was free of leakage.
A 1984 report in the Journal of Endodontia of a new
material, cyanoacrylate, used along with gutta-percha,
found leakage cut down to 0.5 millimeters of
space.
Though a big improvement, that still represents a
significant cave-like dwelling area for organisms
to accumulate, from which bacteria can sneak back
into the general circulation and cause body harm.
Dr. Price devised a test using healthy extracted
teeth, which demonstrated how these spaces in
root fillings, even if sterile initially, could
become infected from blood circulation.
Dr. Price stated that neither root fillings nor
sterilization procedures needed to be perfect,
providing the patient's immune system was
adequate enough to meet such challenges.
