Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004polychloro something or other to kill bacteria
I had #20 root canaled today. So far so good. My doc put me on Penicillin straight away as well. Quick question though...he did the first part of the root canal today and put the temporary filling in place. He said that he put something called polychloro something or other into my root to kill off any bacteria in the roots. He said that it "kills anything it touches" What exactly is this called and how does it kill the bacteria (poison, anti-biotic, etc)? It sounds like it has chlorine in it or something no? Thanks. >I had #20 root canaled today. So far so good. My doc put me on >Penicillin straight away as well. Quick question though...he did the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Thanks.

We used to put some pretty powerful medicaments such as PMCP or formocresol into the pulp chambers of infected teeth. We rarely do this anymore. My feeling is that it did lower the bacterial load in the teeth, but it's better to mechanically remove the infected debris. Furthermore, these medicaments are pretty irritating if they get on the soft tissue or to the end of the roots. I rarely use it anymore.

Quick question though...he did the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Steve PMCP...that's the one! Thanks. He did spend a good deal of time mechanically removing whatever remained of the pulp and puss, and then I suppose he put the PMCP in to make sure that he nailed everything. Yeah, I don't see much about PMCP in google. Even at that, most of what I see is commentary about how calcium hydroxide is a better replacement for PMCP. It must be an older treatment that isn't in use as much, as you've indicated. Thankfully, this #20 root canal is going much better than the #19 that I just had root canaled then extracted. No swelled face, no debilitating pain, no advil needed, etc. >I had #20 root canaled today. So far so good. My doc put me on >Penicillin straight away as well.
