Dental Implants: Can You REALLY Hear The Radio Through Your Teeth?
Dental implants are artificial dental roots that are anchored to the bone. This imitation implanted tooth root is used to attach a false tooth or to support crowns and bridges, permanently replacing teeth that may be damaged, missing or damaged. Many have wondered about the myth of listening to a radio station from a loose fill.
Aside from being a lot to chew on or even too much to swallow, that myth suggests that a dental filling made from a variety of compounds can actually act as a radio signal antenna, a transistor (or diode and capacitor), and a speaker – all. at the same time. Same time.
The physics of listening to a radio station through an object in the mouth, such as a filling or an implant, is not that complex. The wonderful filling or implant would need to pick up the good vibrations from an electrical source, conduct them towards the jaw and inner ear and there would be peace. The problem is converting the electrical signal into mechanical. It is the AC / DC problem. What if the radio station was a radio show and the listener was convinced that they would have all their teeth removed? What a wasted opportunity to hear better stations and get better, more informed advice.
The main cause of this myth was likely created by a young dental patient who enjoyed bingeing on large amounts of hard candy resulting in major cavities, numerous dental visits, and even more fillings. The young patient, with a sugar rush, dazed and confused, forgot that he was listening to the radio through his earplugs and attributed the origin of the voices to his loose fillings.
The restorative history of fillings is the immediate alternative to tooth extraction. The acid erosive power of decaying sugars results in holes and weaknesses in tooth enamel. If left untreated, tooth decay can cause infection and it certainly causes a lot of discomfort and pain as the tooth’s nerve becomes increasingly exposed. The dentist drills the tooth to create an opening large enough to accommodate the mortar properties of a filling. The paste is then applied to the tooth opening, set and polished to a smooth finish.
The first fillings were made from compounds mixed with mercury. Mercury is extremely poisonous and may have caused hearing damage in some patients, another possible cause of the dental radio myth. After years of significant cavities and direct restoration, fillings that today are made of amalgam, composites, porcelain and other mixtures of materials, including gold, the patient approaches the dentist with the option of indirect restoration, implants.
The implant is a permanent and long-lasting prosthetic approach to tooth loss. Tooth loss is caused by a variety of factors including tooth decay, root canal failure, trauma, gum disease, and simple wear and tear.
At some point, the former hard candy-eating patient turns his head in a seemingly desperate attempt to shift radio stations away from hard candy, looks in the mirror, and dreams of gleaming, gleaming teeth permanently attached to dental implants. K-SPARKLE is the new tooth radio station for the new world, a far cry from pop-rock candy and certainly not a filler station for a mosaic smile.
