In the condensing osteitis cases of patients with poor defense, the tissue at the end of the tooth's root was incapable of controlling the organisms and,in fact, seemed to aid in the transport of organsims into the blood and then to various organs, gland and other tissues.

Cysts are quite a different from of infection, which occur at the root ends of teeth, although in their early states they look like granulomas. Usually they cause no apparent symptoms or pain until they are quite large. They may be the result of tooth infections and are quite often caused by injuries.

They can exist entirely in bone or soft tissues. They are well outlined by a skin-like membrane and contain a watery fluid which sometimes has a cheese-like consistency. Dr.Price reported a number of cases of cysts which caused systemic involvements. one was a patient of age 76 who suffered a very severe central nervous system disturbance and had blood pressure so low he almost died on several occasions.

His physician diagnosed his condition as a heart block. After the removal of a tooth and its root end cyst, the patient's symptoms entirely disappeared. He could then walk for miles as rapidly as a 30 year old. Just the opposite occurred to another patient whose blood pressure ran above 220 but returned to normal after his tooth and cyst were removed.

Then there was the man who had an enormous cyst around an impoacted wisdom tooth. This patient had colitis which resulted in bowel movements every 30 minutes. Rabbits inoculated with the contents of the cyst each developed diarrhea in about forty minutes and several developed severe spastic colitis. One other case history involved a boy of 15 having a pulse of 160 and marked shortness of breath. When an infected cuspid baby tooth and a large cyst found below it were removed, the boy's heart condition subsided, allowing his pulse rate to drop in a few hours to 80.

The picture above of three lower front teeth involved with cancer shows a very infrequent manifestation of this serious disease. The infection in this case, though it resembles the granuloma or cyst infections commonly seen about teeth, is quite different in that the borders of the area are very irregular and unlike those of the typical dental infection. This cancer did not arise from the teeth but was a metastasis transfer from the original cancer located in the floor of the mouth. Most oral cancers are found to be caused by the use of tobacco, either from its use in smoking or from snuff placed in the cheek.

Dr. Price felt that not only the organisms but also the toxic substances produced by them had a great deal to do with the conditions of such patients. Although cysts are not so common as other dental infections, they prove just as devastating to many patients. Dr. Price felt that those who experienced cysts but had few systemic disturbances had better body defense mechansims.

Dentists reading this chapter may have trouble believing the observations of Price. In several plces throughout his reports Dr. Price stated quite frankly that he fully expected the validity of his observations to be questioned. He added that although he felt confident of his conclusions, future research could prove other factors are involved than what appeared to be indicated by his research procedures. His formost concern was in finding truth.
