Dental surgery and Dupuytrens
I was at the dentist yesterday. There's a chance sometime in the next few years I might need some dental surgery for a gum pocket. I'm curious if anyone here has had Dupuytren's activated by such a surgery or any dental surgery. Also curious of negative cases as well. Has anyone had dental surgery without apparent affect on Dupuytrens?

Re: Dental surgery and Dupuytrens
I never heard of a Dentist surgery causing a flare of Dupuytren's. I myself had 2 dental surgeries and did not observe any effect. The cuts are really minor.

Re: Dental surgery and Dupuytrens
Good to know. I wish I kept better records, but around the time my Dupuytren's showed up I experienced two trauma's: a broken toe and a pulled wisdom tooth. I really have no idea of the exact time association, but I really wish I has taken better notes. This was before I had a diagnosis. I did have ledderhose in both feet many years earlier.

Re: Dental surgery and Dupuytrens
I have had within the past three months six implants (definitely dental surgery) and have had no change to my Dupuytrens status which has remained dormant really since the first nodule appeared and Stephen Jeffrey's massage therapy protocol was applied. I doubt that you would experience any overlap with the dental surgery. If anyone suggests that you might I would suggest asking for noted proof for their precedent.

Good to hear. From reading through this forum, it seems like there are many cases of T\traumas of various types in the body which case activate Dupuytrens. What appears sure is that its a wildly varying random variable. Some people have Dupuytren's surgery which is massive trauma directly in the region of the disease and have activation of the disease, while others have the same treatment with no activation. Others may have no activation in the hand with surgery and have the other hand activated, or the feet.
Wach, you seem to have a deep knowledge of the disease. Can you give some known instances of various traumas in the body which appear to clearly causing activation? I would be nice to know if traumas not involving the hand or feet would be unlikely to activate the disease.

Re: Dental surgery and Dupuytrens
I don't think that a list can be defined which trauma will cause activation and which not. In my view two criteria have to come together to cause activation:
1. You have previously undetected and maybe not yet palpable micro-nodules elsewehere, that can be activated. If you don't have any, there won't be an activation.
2. A major wound healing. A little pin hole in the skin (as with NA) or a small cut in the jaw is probably not sufficient to activate the disease elsewhere.
