hi,   if you havent seen my other posting already please take a look
at it as it will help you understand what im looking for much better.
In this quest, i am looking for a substance with procedure for
delivery (or perhaps soley a delivery method), DOCUMENTED (in good
research) as valid for reaching inside the root of the tooth
(root-canal surgery is not a method of delivery acceptable to me).
Similarly, i search  for a chemical substance that reaches inside the
dentine tubules. Either one is sufficient to win the prize and if you
can find both please mention and i will give another reward. ty

Request for Question Clarification by umiat-ga on 16 Jul 2002 14:29 PDT

I answered your previous question, but I continue to be stumped by
what you mean involving the avoidance of root canal surgery. There are
many article referring to injections of non-toxic substances into the
canal after the diseased pulp is removed. The pulp is removed simply
by taking off the cap of the tooth, and then a particular substance is
injected into the root canal to clean it out and remove infection. The
procedure is completed with a cap or crown. There is no actual
surgery, no removal of the tooth or the root. If this is the direction
you are heading, I will follow up with an answer. However, other than
the alternative dentists I mentioned in the previous answer, I have
come across no references that recommend leaving the diseased pulp in
the canal and injecting something into the root from the bottom.
Please clarify this a bit more, and I will follow up. Again, the
articles I mentioned use substances that reach into the dentine
tubes.....however, the pulp is removed first in what I consider a
non-surgical way. However, our definitions of non-surgery may be quite
different.

hi
yes unfortunatelly for you so far,   i do believe the pulp is a
complex and hgihly structured living tissue. I do not wish to remove
it. And i do consider drilling through the top of the tooth and
obliderating that tissue to be surgery of course.
This is not an easy search.   i will now read your suggestions for the
previous question and see if you have answered my question or not
there. thank you for your efforts. i hope that you are eager to do a
serious search of the type that i need.  thanx again
