Being 1–2 mm short of the radiographic apex doesn’t mean you’re not violating the peri-apical tissue.

This brings us to two important questions:

Also permanent restoration can be placed immediately in overfilled cases with no need for re-treatment just regular follow-up.

These wedge-shaped grooves near the gumline are called abfraction lesions—a type of non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL). They're caused by tooth flexure from grinding (bruxism) or a misaligned bite, which creates microfractures in enamel and dentin. Over time, abrasive brushing or acidic exposure can worsen the damage. Even if painless, they weaken tooth structure, trap plaque, and may lead to sensitivity or fractures. Treatment involves correcting bite forces (e.g., night guard), gentle brushing, and possibly restoring the area with composite or glass ionomer. Early management preserves tooth health, prevents complications, and avoids more invasive treatments later.

Recent studies from cities like Calgary (Canada) and Juneau (Alaska) show a clear rise in cavities among children after fluoride was removed from drinking water. In Calgary, kids in Grade 2 developed more tooth decay compared to nearby cities that kept using fluoride. In Juneau, dental treatments and costs increased after fluoride was stopped.

Fluoride helps protect teeth and prevent cavities. It’s a safe and low-cost public health solution, especially for children. While some people worry about fluoride's effect on IQ, strong scientific research confirms that fluoride at recommended levels is safe and effective.

Removing fluoride may seem like a small step, but it can lead to big problems like more dental disease and higher treatment costs. That’s why experts recommend keeping fluoride in public water supplies to protect children’s teeth and prevent unnecessary suffering. It’s a proven way to keep communities healthier.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body — not bone:

The problem? Your mouth is a bustling ecosystem that's home to over 300 different species of bacteria in dental plaque alone.

And although your tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body, it can't withstand so much bacteria.

Tooth decay, also known as cavities, is caused by a buildup of plaque on the teeth.

Plaque forms when bacteria mix with food particles and saliva, creating a sticky film that clings to the surface of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are essential to keeping this bacterial community in check.

Dentures Used to be Made From Dead People's Teeth:

Teeth from the recently deceased, often soldiers who had died in battle, were considered valuable due to their relatively healthy condition.

Most soldiers tend to be rather young, after all.

The teeth would be removed, cleaned, and fitted into a base made from materials like ivory to create dentures.

One famous example is after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where thousands of fallen soldiers' teeth were collected and sold to dentists, earning them the nickname "Waterloo teeth."

Fortunately, modern dentistry has advanced significantly, and today’s dentures are made from acrylic, porcelain, or resin, eliminating the need for such macabre methods.

Scientists Have Created a Method to Regrow Teeth:

Recent research suggests that a small dose of light may be enough to stimulate new tooth growth.

A team led by Dr. Arany shone low-power laser light on the tooth pulps of rats, which resulted in the formation of tertiary dentin, a bone-like substance. This finding points to the potential for tooth regeneration.

To better understand how light induces this growth, the researchers examined the biological mechanism and discovered that low-power laser light activates transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β). This activation triggers the production of reactive oxygen species, which in turn causes dental stem cells to differentiate into odontoblasts, the cells responsible for forming dentin.

The mechanism was further validated when mice lacking TGF-β or treated with a TGF-β inhibitor did not respond to the laser treatment, confirming its key role in the process.

Since lasers are already used in dentistry for other treatments, this discovery could pave the way for light-based therapies aimed at regenerating teeth in humans, potentially offering a new approach to dental care in the future.

The Oldest Prosthetic Ever Discovered:

The oldest known prosthetic, a 3,000-year-old wooden toe, was discovered attached to a female mummy in an ancient Egyptian grave site.

Now, modern technologies like microscopy, X-rays, and computer imaging have allowed researchers to uncover new information about its construction and the time period it came from.

The research revealed that the wooden toe had been refitted multiple times. This meticulous craftsmanship suggests that the wearer, believed to be a priest’s daughter, prioritized both comfort and a natural appearance.

"The artificial toe from the early first millennium B.C. testifies to the skills of an artisan who was very familiar with the human physiognomy," the researchers stated. They noted that the prosthetic’s mobility and the sturdy belt strap used to attach it demonstrate advanced technical know-how for the time.

The prosthesis was found in a burial chapel within the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cemetery, west of Luxor. This area housed rock-cut tombs for upper-class individuals connected to the royal family. While the tomb had been looted, researchers are uncovering a wealth of archaeological artifacts and reconstructing the life stories of the people buried there.

This ancient prosthetic toe highlights the craftsmanship and medical understanding of the Early Iron Age and reflects the wearer’s desire for both functionality and aesthetics—an ambition that mirrors modern approaches to prosthetics today.
