Toothpaste fills cavities without drilling
Thursday, February 24, 2005 A paste containing synthetic tooth enamel can seal small cavities without drilling. Kazue Yamagishi and colleagues at the FAP Dental Institute in Tokyo say that the paste can repair small cavities in 15 minutes. Currently, fillers don’t stick to such small cavities so dentists must drill bigger holes. Hydroxyapatite crystals, of which natural enamel is made, bond with teeth to repair tiny areas of damage. Yamagishi and colleagues have tested their paste on a lower premolar tooth that showed early signs of decay. They found that the synthetic enamel merged with the natural enamel. The synthetic enamel also appears to make teeth stronger which will improve resistance to future decay. As with drilling, however, there is still the potential for pain: The paste is strongly acidic to encourage crystal growth and causes inflammation if it touches the gums. The paste is reported in the journal Nature.…

Tuesday, March 29, 2005A team of Australian surgeons yesterday reattached both hands and one foot to 10-year-old Perth boy, Terry Vo, after a brick wall which collapsed during a game of basketball fell on him, severing the limbs. The wall gave way while Terry performed a slam-dunk, during a game at a friend’s birthday party. The boy was today awake and smiling, still in some pain but in good spirits and expected to make a full recovery, according to plastic surgeon, Mr Robert Love. “What we have is parts that are very much alive so the reattached limbs are certainly pink, well perfused and are indeed moving,” Mr Love told reporters today. “The fact that he is moving his fingers, and of course when he wakes up he will move both fingers and toes, is not a surprise,” Mr Love had said yesterday. “The question is more the sensory return…
Understand Transmission Issues With A Salt Lake City Transmission Repair Shop}
Here’s An Opinion On: Camper Trailer Tents For Sale Brisbane Submitted by: Princess Cruz A vehicle’s transmission shifts gears to make sure it receives the right amount of power to drive at a particular speed. Transmission problems diminish fuel economy and can eventually render a car inoperable. Fortunately, cars and trucks show signs that indicate possible transmission problems. Slow acceleration and difficulty shifting gears are among them. A vehicle may make unfamiliar sounds or slip out of gear unpredictably. Leaking fluid also suggests a problem. The “Check Engine” light might illuminate continuously or the engine will rev or idle longer than usual. Sometimes, it won’t go at all when put in “drive.” Other issues can arise that merely look like transmission problems but are caused by some other defect. Electrical problems and computer sensor malfunctions compromise a vehicle’s ability to run efficiently. Broken transmission or engine mounts and dirty fuel…
