Comment: Hi Mark, I have just returned from a vacation in the US. I am very interested in continuing research into Calcium therapy. I have been utilizing the chips on many patients, and I am hoping to see great results.
Before I went on vacation I saw a patient with an extremely mobile upper left premolar with an acute perio abscess and pus. Normally I would have prescribed an antibiotic then extracted the tooth I decided to quickly pack the pocket with Ca [calcium/zinc chips] and see what would happen.
He returned in 4 days with a marked improvement. I scaled the area, I will splint it and follow up. I look forward to continuing with the Calcium. ~ D.G. DDS
