The Sargenti Opposition Society knows there are far more cases of unreported injuries buried in dentists offices, settled lawsuits, and even those who are not aware that Sargenti Paste is the real cause of their problems.  We would like to hear yours or someone's that you know.  Please email us at webmaster@sargentipaste.org.  You are not required to use your name nor your dentists/doctors.  We thank you for helping us make others aware.

Sargenti Paste and similar formulations should never be used in today's dentistry.  The risks do not outweigh the benefits. Conventional root canals have very low failure rates and are in line with rates tauted by Sargenti Proponents.  Since sargenti proponents put limitiations on failed cases that can be submitted to their "club", they cannot possibly know the true failure rate.  They collect data that supports the rate they taut.  This is fraudulent representation of the facts...and innocent people are being harmed because of the misrepresentation of the facts from the "club" to it's members and then to the patients.  If the patient is ever told.

• L's story  (1984)  Most notable case of Sargenti Paste damages. This patient had 5 overfills of Sargenti Paste done by a dentist who was a long time friend of the family.  She sued and, as is the case with Sargenti defense, they blamed the infection problems on her treating physicians.  She has developed cancer all through out her body and can't help but believe that it could be related.  Her life as she knew it was over. Why any dentist would do this to a patient is incomprehensable.
  
  
• Claudia's story  (2000).  This patient, a founding member of the SOS, continues nearly a decade later to suffer with uncontrollable infection.   Her upper right jawbone was eaten away by chronic infection caused by the formaldehyde as it destroyed the bone.  Her jaw was rebuilt from leg parts and continues today to decay. She has almost died a number of times with these infections and possibly could one day.  Nobody should be subjected to this type of risk by a dentist.  They have an obligation to "do no wrong" and when you do something that you feel you need to hide and the vast majority of your profession is against, you are doing something wrong.
  
  
• Lorrie's story  (2005).  This patient, a founding member of the SOS, continues nearly 4 years later with the exact same pattern and severity of pain and numbness that she had within a week after the root canal.  The paraformaldehyde, according  to the proponents, continues to "disinfect" for 7-10 days.  Disinfecting is the activity of the formaldehyde which continues to permeate whatever it comes in contact with.  Time was of the essence.  The 3 dentists were lightly disciplined by the AL state dental board and the patient filed a dental malpractice lawsuit.  That lawsuit was settled for pennies compared to what this root canal has and will cost her.  Surgery photos at these links are before surgery, during surgery and after surgery.  In the surgical picture, the specks of white spattered throughout the jaw are Sargenti Paste.  Unfortunately the doctor was unable to remove all of them so some still exist some 4 years later (contrary to the proponents claim that they will be resorbed within months).  The after surgery picture of the tooth shows the paste that was wrapped around the nerve.  This paste is the cause of the physical damage to the nerve as noted by the surgeon.
