Understanding Biological Dentistry: It’s Importance in Health Mark J Mc. Clure, DDS, FAGD President, past Provost of Capital University of Integrative Medicine Clinical practice: National Integrative Health Associates
“ 80% of patient’s health problems can be partially traced to the mouth. ” --Dietrich Klinghardt MD, Ph. D “If I had to choose between Medical or Dental for our patients, I would eliminate the Medical side, for in our experience no one can overcome chronic health problems without Biological Dentistry. ” --Thomas Rau MD, Paracelsus Clinic
The Structures of the Mouth Structures Potential problems • Teeth • Root canals and dead teeth • Gingiva and the supporting bone • Periodontal Disease • Jaw bone • Cranial nerves • Autonomic nerves and ganglia • Ischemic Osteonecrosis • Trigeminal neuralgia • Skeleto-muscular structures • Lymphatic system • Dys-autonomia • Glands-saliva • Cranio-mandibular dysfunction- TMJ • Mucous membranes
Tooth structure
Biological Dental Issues What dental issues does a Physician need to know, which may impact the health of your patient • Periodontal Disease • Root canals and other dead teeth • Toxic (neuro) metals: mercury, tin, nickel, gold… • Ischemic Osteonecrosis • Cranio-Mandibular Dysfunction • Fluoridation » the science and current level of understanding
Biological Dentistry: summary & learning objectives • Biological Dentistry critical for Integrative Medical approach to health problems: root cause/functional causes • History: “when did your problems start? ” • Dentistry is source of toxicity: mercury and other heavy metals, fluoride, root canals/ dead teeth, NICO • Dentistry is source of neuro-biologic overload (dysautonomia): mercury, RCT, NICO • #1 rule in detox therapeutics: remove the source • Principles of nutrition and detoxification
Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and its effects on Health Periodontal disease • 80 % of adults have some form of periodontal disease • Periodontal disease – local infection or systemic? • Autoimmune? Toxic foci: Physical (bacterial) and neurological disturbance manifesting as distal pathology Relationship of Dental and Oral Pathology to Systemic Illness. Harold C Slavkin, DDS: Bruce J. Baum, DVD, Ph. D. JAMA. 2000: 284: 1215 1217. Review Article.
Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and its effects on Health Cardiovascular Disease • Men under 50 with periodontitis have 3 fold relative risk of death from CVD Cerebrovascular Ischemia • Serious periodontal bone loss leads to 3 times greater odds of developing stroke Preterm, low birth weight babies • Mothers with Periodontal Disease had greater than 7 times the odds of delivering preterm, low birth weight babies
Integrative Periodontal Therapeutics Goals: • Infection: “an invasion by pathogenic microorganisms of a bodily part in which the conditions are favorable for growth, production of toxins , and resulting injury to tissue” • Long term chronic degenerative disease • Control the local and systemic risk factors • Not just surgical treatment- removal of un-healthy, healthy or potentially healthy body parts • Goal: optimal long-term periodontal health and maximize their resistance to periodontal infection;
Integrative Periodontal Therapeutics local and systemic risk factors • Nutrition: Crevicular epithelium high metabolic rate • Immune modulation: Dietary, control of chronic infections • Infectious: Toxic foci for strep, nanobacteria, anaerobic bacteria and other infectious agents implicated in CVD • Hormonal/endocrine: • Toxicity: Adrenal, thyroid, diabetes, pregnancy Mercury, toxins from RCT, dead teeth
Integrative Periodontal Therapeutics local and systemic risk factors • Allergic/autoimmune: PD- bone loss, hyper reaction to self? Amount and pathogenicity of infection often not related to the degree of periodontal tissue destruction • Structural issues: Local: Occlusal trauma, Systemic: the postural system • Plaque control: • Osteoporosis/ osteopenia • The Mouth visible for assessment for other, infectious, degenerative, nutritional conditions, and the gut.
Integrative Periodontal Therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth Biologic principles in common with dental • Too much bad stuff – Bad fats: – Poor proteins, incomplete essential amino acids, – Sugar and the other white stuff (grains, potatoes)– Chemicals, xenobiotics and other anti-metabolites, – Incomplete metabolism- organic acids and acidic condition – Bowel/ liver toxicity, leaky gut, immune modulation – (Neuro) Toxic heavy metals
Integrative Periodontal Therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth Biologic principles in common with dental • Not enough of the good stuff: foods, vitamins and minerals – Cellular energy: B vitamins and Mg – Antioxidants: Vit C, bioflavonoid; Vit. E; Co Q-10; alpha lipoic acid – Epithelial health Vit A: – Bone health: Ca/ Mg; silica, boron, Vit. D, Amino acidshydroxyapatite (matrix) – DNA replication: Foliate
Integrative Periodontal therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth • Not enough of the good stuff: food components (cont. ): fats – Membrane rehabilitation: critical for all healing, detoxification and cellular function – Eliminate the bad fats: trans fats, too much saturated fats – Good fats: µ 3 FA, alpha linolenic acid, fish oils; µ 6 FA, saturated FA (coconut), phosphytdl choline – Short chained fatty acids: produced by good bacteria in gut, food for gut/ hepatocyte - detoxification
Integrative Periodontal therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth • Need to repair and rehabilitate connective tissues and bone Connective tissues require: – Vit. C – collagen matrix – Proteins: matrix amino acids, essential AA, proline, hydroxyproline (Rx. Bone, hydrolysed connective tissue) • Metabolic glands: critical for repair of connective tissues: adrenal, thyroid (hypo) Adrenal fatigue- poor connective tissues Metabolic dysfunction: low bodily temperature, part of the internal milieu which reduces enzymatic function, immune competence
Integrative Periodontal therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth • Good stuff: Immune modulators: foods, herbs – Green tea, White tea, Aloe, Camu camu extract, Propolis, Eucalyphus, Peelu, Echinacea, golden seal, calendula, Pau D’Arco, peppermint, Lo Han Kuo (partial list) – High orac foods; proanthocyanodins (pigmented berries), mixed tocopherols, parsley, thyme, rosemary – Zinc, Vitamin C with Quercitin
Integrative Periodontal therapeutics Nutrition and the Mouth • Anti-microbials/ metabolites – Xylitol, colloidal silver, H 2 O 2, baking soda – Herbal antimicrobials: • Oregano oil, tea tree oil, • Nutritional delivery systems – Oral (PO) – Topical: liposomal – Sublingual (by-passing the gut) • Hard to fix the mouth without fixing the gut, liver (therefore bowel and liver detoxification)
Mercury: Facts and Fiction Warning: This office uses amalgam filling materials which contain and expose you to mercury, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. Please consult your dentist for more information
Mercury: Facts and Fiction • ADA Advisory Opinions • 5. A. 1. Dental Amalgam • …current scientific data, … that the removal of amalgam restorations from the non-allergic patient for the alleged purpose of removing toxic substances … at the recommendation or suggestion of the dentist , is improper and unethical • 2004: ADA issued press release from report from Life Science Research Office from meta-analysis of literature: “insufficient evidence to support a causal relationship between mercury fillings and human health problems… except in rare instances of allergic reactions
Mercury Myths: • Mercury in amalgams is stable FACT: Mercury in the expired air after chewing increased an average 15 fold in subjects with Amalgam fillings; Mercury Vapor Testing; Svare, et al Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 60, #9, Sept. 1981, 1668 -71 • Mercury from amalgams does not accumulate in the body FACT: 80% of the elemental mercury vapor is absorbed through the mucous membranes: lungs, oral mucosa, enterocytes. Man has protection from ingested mercury, (i. e. metallothionine) but not inhaled. • Elemental mercury is not harmful • The body can accumulate mercury with no harmful effects FACT: What is the least amount any person can tolerate of a the most toxic neurotoxin prior to any signs and symptoms? Mercury is following the lead issue but 40 years later!
“…I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one, will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot. ” ~Hippocratic Oath “all truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as self-evident. ” Arthur Schopenhauser, 19 th century Philosopher EG. Washing hands of a surgeon, Lead, H pylori, mercury

Mercury does not accumulate • Lorscheider, et el “Mercury Exposure from Silver Tooth Fillings: Emerging Evidence Questions a Traditional Dental paradigm. ” FASEB Journal (April 1995) – Every amalgam daily release… 10 micrograms of Hg into body; 3, 000, 000, Hg atoms/day – Over 2/3 excretable mercury… from Hg – Capable of inducing auto-immunity • Nylander, et al Swedish Dental Journal Vol. 11, 1987, 179 -187. – Researchers examined samples of the kidney and brain from 34 cadavers, 5 of which were amalgam-free. – Statistically significantly higher amounts of mercury were found in the kidneys and brains of the 29 amalgam cadavers than the five amalgam-free cadavers.
Mercury does not accumulate • Danscher, et al Experimental & Molecular Pathology, Vol. 52. 1990, 291 -299 • This research project placed amalgam fillings in monkeys and found deposition of mercury in their spinal ganglia, anterior pituitary adrenal medulla, liver kidney, lungs and intestinal lymph glands • Organs from control monkeys contained no mercury
Mercury does not accumulate • Vimy et el “Maternal-fetal distribution of mercury (203 Hg) released form dental amalgam fillings. ” Am. J. Physiol. 258 – Highest [Hg] Adult: liver, kidney; Fetus: pituitary, liver • Mercury Exposure via Breast Milk Vimy, MJ, Hooper, DF, King, WW, Lorscheider, FL. Mercury from Maternal “silver” Tooth Fillings in Sheep and Human Breast Milk: “A source of Neonatal Exposure. Biological Trace Element Research, 56: 143 -52. (1997) – Conclusion: Hg originating from maternal amalgam tooth fillings transfers across the placenta to the fetus and ultimately into neonatal body tissues, across the mammary gland into milk ingested by the newborn • Recent placenta studies
Myth: Mercury is not harmful Fact: Elemental mercury is highly unstable and toxic • ANS Neurological Disturbance • Oxidative Stress: • Specific Biochemistry: HM are antagonists (to minerals) that bind and inactivate enzyme systems and cellular structures. Mercury binds to Sulfur, denaturing the proteins (detoxification, oxidative and other enzyme systems), Interferes with the binding of minerals (Mg, Cr, Mn, Cu, K, Se) • Attracted to Membranes (nerves, fatty tissues): • Mercury is poorly eliminated (detoxed) ½ life – 23 years • Gross bodily burden vs. finite bodily burden: • Chronic Exposure Vs Acute Exposure: chronic exposure, which over time overwhelms the body detoxification systems and overwhelms the ANS adaptive capacity to monitor and accommodate the toxicity. Chronic exposure can lead to a dys -autonomia. • Thresholds of multiple (neuro)toxic accumulation: • Chronic toxicity is a diagnostic problem as opposed to acute toxicity •
Myth: Mercury is not harmful Fact: Elemental mercury is highly unstable and toxic In summary, Hg (A. ) is highly reactive free radical generator (B. ) reduces bodies capacity to protect itself from free radical chain reactions [Complexing and inactivating -Glutathione, Glutathione peroxidase (Se), SOD, catalase] (C. ) reduces both extracellular and intracellular glutathione, which are major detoxifiers of HM and other toxins (D. ) reduces the stores of sulfur required for all other detoxification
Myth: Mercury is not harmful Fact: Elemental mercury is highly unstable and toxic (E. ) is very tenaciously bound both intracellular and extra cellular membranes, enzymes, cellular structures, receptor sites, and (F. ) inactivates minerals binding sites, thus reducing enzymatic function. This occurs over time as the body burden of Hg accumulates, the anti -oxidative capacity is reduces, the heavy metal binding and inactivating ability of the patient is reduced, and the bodily functions become degraded. This is very dependent of thresholds of toxicity (amount and time), genetic susceptibility, other toxicities, environmental impact and nutrition. Where does Mercury go in the body? Anywhere it wants!
Difficult Patients • Psychological symptoms – – – Anxiety Forgetfulness Irritability Sleep disturbances Restless Exaggerated response to stimulation – Emotional instability – Lack of self control – Mood swings • Endocrine symptoms – Low body temp – Edema – Increased sweating – Osteoporosis – Thyroid and Adrenal glands adversely affected; estrogen dominance

Myth: Mercury from amalgams is a small percentage of total mercury load • Fact: “A 1991 World Health Organization finding reports dental amalgam constitutes more exposure to element mercury than all other sources combined. • Daily Mercury retention in the general population (WHO 1991) Source – – – ug/day absorbed Amalgam 3 -17 Fish/seafood 2 -3. 4 Other food 0. 25 Water 0. 0035 Air 0. 001 Vaccines (thimerosal)
Mercury doses from dental amalgams surfaces were as much as 18 fold the allowable daily limits established by some countries for Hg exposure from all sources in the environment M. J. Vimy, and F. L. Lorschneider: Serial Measurements of intraoral air mercury: estimation of daily dose from dental amalgam. Journal of Dental Research
Additional biologic problems with dental restorations • Dental materials: crowns, bridges, fillings, braces – Constant exposure – Metals: mercury, tin, palladium, gold, nickel, titanium, silver, platinum, beryllium – Composite fillings: bis GAMA resin with quarts and glass fillers – xenobiotic and phytoestrogens • Dental implants – Micro-dosing, therefore need to detox or sequester and store – Allergic- Melissa test lymphocyte attenuation – Multiple metals- in an electrolyte solution= battery; measured in milli-volts, the electrical system of body (ANS) operates in nano-volts
Fluoride- IAOMT position paper • International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) • The IAOMT performed the task of revising fluoride in a comprehensive, scientific and unbiased manner in accordance with criteria established to assure the protection of the public safety. The review of fluoride and resulting Public Health Goal of zero is the only acceptable exposure level to this common xenobiotic WWW. iaomt. org
The Fluoride Issue • Fluoride is two issues: – Topically applied – Water fluoridation* • Research has shown that fluoride only works in a topical manner • Fluoride interacts with hydroxyl-apatite to form fluorhydroxyapatite (higher solubility constant) • Fluoride is anti-metabolite of bacteria (plaque) • Other factors involved in bacteria control (plaque): – Nutrition, genetics, oral hygiene, salivary flow – More important than fluoride, a known xenobiotic. • NIH panel conclusions: “Most tooth decay research is poorly done, Lack of fluoride doesn’t cause decay but poor diet does. ”
The Fluoride Issue • Only sodium fluoride has been studied for safety as a water additive; not Hydrofoluorisilicic acid-phosphate fertilizer co-product • “Speaking as the head of preventive dentistry, I told them that I had unintentionally mislead my colleagues and my students. For the past 15 years, I had refused to study the toxicology information that is readily available to anyone…
The Fluoride Issue • Fluoride works topically, by coming in contact with tooth enamel. No study has shown a link between ingesting fluoride and lower rates of decay. Dentists have absolutely no training in toxicity, your well-intentioned dentist is simply following 50 years of misinformation from public health and the dental association, Me, too. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Dr. Hardy Limeback, B. Sc. , Ph. D in Biochemistry, DDS. , Head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry University of Toronto, President of Canadian Ass. For Dental Research
The Fluoride Issue • Decay trends: – Caries reduction has been as fast or faster in unfluoridated countries • “I am quite convinced that water fluoridation, in a nottoo-distant future, will be consigned to medical history” Dr. Arvid Carlsson Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000) • 14 other Nobel prize winners. .

Root Canals: A Controversy • Conventional Dentistry: ADA, AAE • Biologic Dental: – Root canal fillings are safe – Root canal fillings may not be safe – Focal theory of infection does not apply as related to endodontically treated teeth – Focal infections in RCT may be the cause of many systemic disease – Endodontically teeth do not produce systemic disease – Dr. Weston Price: RCT teeth did produce systemic disease; experiments with rabbits (kidney and heart disease, arthritis…) – Microbes do remain in the dentinal tubules of endodontically treated teeth, but pose no health hazard – RCT do not contribute to NICO (jaw bone cavitations) – Microbes in the dentinal tubules may be a health risk – RCT may cause NICO
Root Canals • Drs. Weston Price (rabbit studies), Charles Mayo, E. C. Rosenau (anaerobic cultures) • Dr. George Meinig: “Root Canal Cover-up” • Dr. Boyd Haley: Affinity Labeling www. altcorp. com – Nucleotide photoaffinity labeling
Root Canal Issues • Dentin: not solid but canals of 10 -15 microns diameter; anterior incisor- measured in miles of tubules – very porous • Bacteria, virus, fungus, parasites can be. 2 microns (many forms, vary according to conditions) • Blood, mouth and infected teeth are not sterile-many microbes
Root Canal Issues • Microbes invade the canals, immune system unable to get to infection (immune cells are too big) • Anaerobic conditions-produce toxins • Toxins slowly released, need to be detoxified or sequestered/stored • Some of the most toxic substances studied: inhibit Krebs cycle, oncogenes
Root Canal Issue • Affect neurological system (ANS): toxic foci – Parasympathetic NS reflexes: tooth- organ/structure relationship (TCM) – Thermography studies – Net effects: • Reduce blood flow- reduces the functional capacity of organ/ structure, • Toxic effect? Axonal transport, lymph drainage
Root Canal Issue • Toxic foci: “A focus is an area of chronically altered tissue, which encloses organic and inorganic material that cannot be removed of metabolized, which causes remote disturbance of a general and local kind” Pischinger • Sequester and storage: – Jaw bone cavitation: toxins devitalize the peripheral bonechronic osteo-neucrotic ischemia, reduce blood flow, immune system disengages • Dentistry only medical field that insists on retaining dead body parts
Jaw bone cavitations: Neurological Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO) • Dental issue: – Conventional dentistry: may or may not exist; no biological problem – Integrative (biological, holistic) dentistry/ medicine: • Pathological bone
Jaw bone cavitations: Neurological Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO) Integrative (biological, holistic) dentistry/ medicine (cont): • Common toxic foci: – Causative in cranio-oro-facial pain: trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain, cranio-mandibular dysfunction, trigeminal overload syndromes – Regional dys-autonomia – functional problems from chronic hypoperfusion of blood flow, causing consequences in immune, healing, chronic infection, functional reserve of tissues – Generalized dys-autonomia: neurological disturbance (electrical) overwhelming the ANS (total load exceeded = time and amount of disturbance(s)); extra-cellular deposition under control of SNS
Jaw bone cavitations: Neurological Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO) • Toxic dump site: – Laws of Homotoxicology (reaction to man’s toxins): excretion, inflammation, deposition, cellular intoxification, degereration, neoplasm – Daunderer, German toxocologist: 2000 samples of NICO; laden with mercury and other heavy metals of the mouth
Jaw bone cavitations: Neurological Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICO) • References: – G. V. Black DDS, Father of modern dentistry – Dr. Jerry Bouquot DDS, Ph. D, oral pathologist • www. maxilofacialcenter. com • www. ncpainmanagement. com – Oral pathology text books – See references appendix
Biological Dentistry: summary & learning objectives • Biological Dentistry critical for Integrative Medical approach to Health problems: root cause/functional causes • History: “when did your problems start? ” – Consider dentistry: Amalgam fillings, replaced; wisdom teeth removed; after root canal; gold or porcelain fused to metal crown placed • Dentistry is source of toxicity: mercury and other heavy metals, fluoride, root canals/ dead teeth, NICO • Dentistry is source of neuro-biologic overload (dys-autonomia): mercury, RCT, NICO • #1 rule in detox therapeutics: remove the source
Biological Dentistry: summary & learning objectives • Integrative Periodontal nutrition – Supplementation: • General vitamin and mineral: – B complex, complete minerals including trace minerals • Folate and Vit. K-1 • Support the metabolic glands if needed: Adrenal/ thyroid • Anti-oxidants – Vitamin C with bioflavinoids; mixed tocopherols (Vit. E) – Co-enzyme Q-10 (100 mg); Alpha Lipoic acid
Biological Dentistry: summary & learning objectives • Bone and connective tissues: – Proteins (matrix) – Calcium and Magnesium 2: 1 to 1: 1 – Other mineral bone formation factors: Silica, Boron Chromium, Manganese • Immune modulation formulas • Good fats, Fish oils
