History of the development of artificial teeth

False teeth have made the lives of thousands of struggling people, including George Washington, the first president of the United States.

There have been no inventions that are slow improving as dentures. They were invented the first time thousands of years ago.

Etruscans have made bone or gold dentures fitted to the side of real teeth. Although many people have managed so long, no one can do so for a hundred and fifty years. For a long time only saw the mouth of the monster.

 

 

The main problem that dentists have to deal with is the material. According to the Etruscans, gold has become popular, but few have enough money to cover gold teeth. Other rare materials are used: mother of pearl, agate and silver.

The famous dentist in history is George Washington - he has an ivory denture - another popular material. The ivory is from hippopotamus horn or walrus, and a tooth is carved from an ivory piece. Looking at the photos of the president we also see that dentures hurt him! Washington's teeth not only hurt him when he ate, but they often stumbled when he was eloquent and they were damaged.

If Washington lived in France, he probably wore a porcelain denture by a French inventor in 1770. A sparkly porcelain tooth was not damaged, although their white color was too bright and had to be painted. darker. Today there are still people who wear porcelain teeth, especially when there is only one.

Teeth that thrive are also prosperous, but they often cause allergic inflammation in the mouth and can fall out at any time. These real teeth are sold by the poor to the dentist, or the teeth of the dead, as they are usually cheaper.

Once you have a denture in place, you have a problem with how to keep them there. For a long time, people use springs to hold the base on which, attach the denture is in place. Of course, springs will sometimes slip out and their teeth will jump out of their mouths!

This downfall has once saved the life of a missionary living on the island of Fiji. Aboriginal villagers protested his presence in the village, chasing the poor missionary to a tent. When they came in and prepared to kill him, he released his dentures and raised them in front of them. Aboriginal people do not believe in their eyes anymore! They led him to a powerful magician and then left him unconscious.

An American dentist practicing in the early nineteenth century suggested that springs were unnecessary if the sole could fit into the gut. He found that when there was no space between the tooth and gum pads, the vacuum of the vacuum and some glue could hold the denture very tight. This is a great step forward in the history of dentures, but many years later, this idea has come true.

However, a vacuum sucked teeth does not solve all the problems of the dentist - that is how their mouths look as natural as the teeth. Without dentures, the mouth looks very weird. His face was like a "concave", his nose and chin close to each other scary. Over the years, people have brought dentures for a reason - fill the gaps. Today, we know that dentures are essential for crushing and digesting food. But before, people eat with dentures hard and often put them out of the mouth before sitting at the table.

Charles Goodyear's invention of vulcanized rubber has changed everything. That is the material for tooth pads. Now dentures are molded to fit the mouth of each person. At the same time, the price of a denture is down to the level that the poor among the neighbors can also make dentures.

As time passes, the vulcanized rubber is replaced with celluloid and a synthetic plastics. And today, popular all over the world. Dentures are not only molded for each person, but also for the color of each person's teeth.

Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
