Word of Mouth Super Tooth Dreams do come true. All of us, surely even a primordial caveman when the stone flew off the axe handle, must have uttered the words "they should make a screw-in tooth." Well, they have! "They" is Nobelpharma of the Nobel Prizes, Bofers Guns, gelignite fame, one of the worlds largest companies. It all started with a researcher studying bone healing by using a microscope to look through an implanted glass disk placed into a rodents tail. Upon attempting to salvage the expensive optical glass, with its surrounding metal holder, from the bone, the task proved extremely difficult because the bone had grown all over the metal. The metal was titanium- extracted from mineral sands and used as an oxide in paints and sunscreens. The metal is also used in fighter planes and containers for corrosive materials. A dental implant is undetectable, it wont decay or get gum disease and costs only a little more than a bridge. It really is Gods answer to the Cavemans prayer. |
