• A Cavitation is a global generic word for an area of bone disease that has many clinical definitions from mild Ischemia to Necrosis.
• A Cavitation is the result of cell death, which causes a hole in the bone marrow. These holes can appear in any bone in the body.
• Radiographs will not show cavitations very well because minerals plate out surrounding bone tissue, increasing its density, providing a shadowing effect. Cavitations do not readily appear until approximately 50% of the bone has died and decayed away!
• We learned the difference between Normal and Common to mean "that which is common does not mean it is normal".
• We learned that Clinical Significance means there is something of paramount importance to our body's health or well being.
• Dead bone (Osteonecrosis) is not something we want within our body. It gives off toxins (bacterial and unidentified) that pollute our body and hamper gene reproduction and genetic protein synthesis of some major tumor suppressant genes.
• P53, P21 and CDK2 are primary tumor suppressant genes inhibited by cavitational toxins and root canal toxins.
• Teeth are bone.
• Root Canal Teeth are dead bone, they give off bacterial toxins that inhibit enzyme production in the KREBS cycle.
• KREBS Cycle is the cell to cell energy transfer that your body uses to do work. Interruption of this cycle is the primary reason behind Chronic Fatigue.
• Gangrene is a condition of dead bone with bacteria present! A root canal tooth is dead bone with bacteria present!

On 7 January 2003, the Superior Court in San Francisco approved the final language for warnings on dental amalgam mercury that are required under California's Proposition 65: "NOTICE TO PATIENTS: PROPOSITION 65: Warning on dental amalgam, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, Root canal treatments and restorations including fillings, crowns and bridges, use chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has studied the situation and approved for use all dental restorative materials. Consult your dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for your treatment."

ALT Corp, at the request of Bob Jones, CEO, Cavitat Medical Technologies, Inc. was asked to perform inhibition tests on certain genes using bone samples from over 500 surgical sites shown to be necrotic by a Cavital scan. This testing has shown that improper gene reproduction and genetic protein inhibitions result from these toxins. The proteins that were tested were the P53, CDK2, and P21. These are the major proteins used by the body for tumor suppression. The inhibition of these proteins are found in all cancers.

The scientists at ALT Corp. also tested the toxicity of infected root canals through their anaerobic bacterial toxins. The P53, P21 and CDK2 proteins were inhibited 85-90% as compared to cavitational toxins.

The clinical significance is that cancer can be directly influenced by cavitational and root canal toxicity in your jaw bone.
