This might sound like a crazy joke but sadly the truth is that it can happen and it has to many people resulting in deaths due to a simple tooth infection that was left without treatment. The jaw is rich in nerves and blood vessels that any infection/s can easily pass throught the rest of [...]
Nano-technology or the study and use of microscopic structures have been found to be more effective as a coating on dental implants, promoting faster and better osseointegration. Traditional dental implants are made of steel and do not quite osseointegrate that inspection through a microscope would show a few microns of a gap that leaves the [...]
Researchers in the Netherlands have developed a drug dispensing tooth implant that has its own microprocessor and power source to provide steady streams of medication for sedentary patients who cannot take medicines on their own. The technology is highly reliant on microelectronics that contains sensors, a drug dispensing valve, the drug reservior, and the microprocessor [...]
This problem is more on the alignment of teeth that can excert uneven pressure on the joints, nerves and muscles that results in headaches and other health problems. This is usually corrected by procedures that would allow the proper alignment of teeth and even the whole jaw to alleviate the pressure excerted on the sensitive [...]
Sealants have begun to give teeth a second life preventing further decay on teeth that have just begun to get some erosion or cavities but are still too shallow to fully affect the soft tissue within the tooth’s structure. Sealants can be used to protect mildly decayed teeth giving them a clear coat that acts [...]
