The fight against the focal infection theory was mainly carried
out by doctors Percy Howe and John Buckley.
Howe based his opposition on a study he conducted injecting
rabbits with the normal placid streptococcus bacteria secured
from the mouth, not bacteria from an infection site or a root
filled tooth. In his investigation, none of the animals became
sick or died. Buckley was unable to see how infected teeth which
showed excellent evidence of bone repair after root canal therapy
could possibly still be infected. Then too, because some who root
filled teeth removed did not recover, he questioned the validity
of the conclusion that a percentage of patients did get well due
to the removal of a tooth or teeth.
