“…Gold dental fillings are known in a few other archaeological skeletons from 19th century English burial grounds (e.g. Whittaker, 1993;Cox et al, 2000;Boyle et al, 2005;Brickley et al, 2006;Powers and Walker, 2008;Boston et al, 2009), but they are rare and, not surprisingly in view of the high cost of such treatment, they are generally restricted to high status church vault burials.…”

“…Restorative dentistry has traditionally focused on the use of dental materials to replace tissue in the oral environment in order to restore physical function following tissue loss from disease processes. 130 Although success with respect to mechanical function is often achieved, the broader biological function of the tissue is not. The mechanical and biological properties of living teeth are intimately related.…”

Review of Nanomaterials in Dentistry: Interactions with the Oral Microenvironment, Clinical Applications, Hazards, and Benefits

Interest in the use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) as either nanomedicines or dental materials/devices in clinical dentistry is growing. This review aims to detail the ultrafine structure, chemical composition, and reactivity of dental tissues in the context of interactions with ENMs, including the saliva, pellicle layer, and oral biofilm; then describes the applications of ENMs in dentistry in context with beneficial clinical outcomes versus potential risks. The flow rate and quality of saliva are likely to influence the behavior of ENMs in the oral cavity, but how the protein corona formed on the ENMs will alter bioavailability, or interact with the structure and proteins of the pellicle layer, as well as microbes in the biofilm, remains unclear. The tooth enamel is a dense crystalline structure that is likely to act as a barrier to ENM penetration, but underlying dentinal tubules are not. Consequently, ENMs may be used to strengthen dentine or regenerate pulp tissue. ENMs have dental applications as antibacterials for infection control, as nanofillers to improve the mechanical and bioactive properties of restoration materials, and as novel coatings on dental implants. Dentifrices and some related personal care products are already available for oral health applications. Overall, the clinical benefits generally outweigh the hazards of using ENMs in the oral cavity, and the latter should not prevent the responsible innovation of nanotechnology in dentistry. However, the clinical safety regulations for dental materials have not been specifically updated for ENMs, and some guidance on occupational health for practitioners is also needed. Knowledge gaps for future research include the formation of protein corona in the oral cavity, ENM diffusion through clinically relevant biofilms, and mechanistic investigations on how ENMs strengthen the tooth structure.

“…71 M. Cox et al observe that "Patented tinctures and powders proliferated … particularly in response to periodontal [gum] disease and [to aid] the removal of calculus [tartar, a hardened form of plaque]." 72 Peter A. Reichart meanwhile draws attention to the prevalence of the Areca nut in popular tooth pastes and powders. 73 Simulated by major developments in dentistry-including the introduction of anaesthesia and the use of vulcanite, a cheap and easy material to work with to manufacture false teeth bases-the mandate for good teeth was so great that by 1877 one journalist wrote: Natural teeth, clean, sound, and perfect, are essential to the comeliness of any human face.…”

Constructing and Complicating Physical Wholeness

This chapter explores the construction of the concept of physical wholeness and the way in which fears of physical loss were perpetuated. The chapter addresses nineteenth-century contexts such as changing understandings of the human condition, new models of work, and changes in legislation. It considers these factors alongside analyses of literary texts that stimulated anxiety regarding the neurological impact of body loss, including Frederick Marryat’s Jacob Faithful (1834) and Silas Weir Mitchell’s “The Case of George Dedlow” (1866). The chapter ends by investigating how the burgeoning prosthesis market reinforced preferences for physical normalcy in advertisements as it exploited them for capitalist ends.
