| We read with great interest the paper of Chen and Sung reporting two cases of gingival and localized alveolar bone necrosis following root canal treatment with arsenic trioxide-containing paste.1 However, in the first sentence of the introduction section in their report, Haly Abbas (930e994 AD) was introduced as the first to use arsenic trioxide in dental treatment in 1492.1 First, to the best of our knowledge, early records of arsenical use in dental treatment date back to before biblical times.2 Later, Rhazes (865e925 AD) used arsenicals (Zarnikh) in dental and gingival treatments decades before Haly Abbas. Throughout medieval Persia, yellow and red arsenics (arsenic sulfides) were commonly used in dental extraction, devitalizing pulps of teeth, dental caries, toothache, gingivitis, spongy gum, and bleeding gingiva.2,3 Second, Haly Abbas, wrote his medical encyclopedia called Kitab al-Maliki (The Royal Book) (Fig. 1) in 965. Written in Arabic, The Royal Book was translated into Latin in 1127, and was printed under the name “Liber Regalis” in 1492. In other words, the use of arsenicals in dental treatment was indicated by Haly Abbas in 965 AD, rather than 1492.4 Third, in his Liber Regalis, Haly Abbas recommended using arsenic (arsenic sulfides) rather than white arsenic (arsenic trioxide) for devitalizing the pulps of teeth.2 To the best of our knowledge, white arsenic or arsenic trioxide was not used as a therapeutic agent in medieval Persian medicine; white arsenic was known for its lethality in the medieval era |
