The research reveals secrets of dental implants reptiles

A team of researchers from UK as a subject phenomenon may be affected by dental implants. Study is undertaken on reptiles.

Using three-dimensional computer models of the skull and teeth of reptiles in New Zealand, researchers found how to avoid dental problems in the relationship between our gums, muscles and brain. The study was conducted on reptiles Tuatara, a reptile endemic in New Zeeleanda that resembles a lizard, its teeth and jaws are welded and not fixing jawbone same as in mammals.

What about human teeth were reptiles?

This is the fact that reptiles have ligaments, so their teeth can resemble dental implants. Dr. Neil Curtis from the University of Hull, said: "If folks people and animals each tooth ligaments that support brain send signals and warns about a stronger bite. This is natural defenses against tooth destruction."

Also, Dr. Marc Jones said: "In the Western world full of sugar, people do lose their teeth and put their place dental implants or prostheses. Along with tooth loss and they lose ligament which was attached to each tooth. The research want to know how our brain reacts in the absence of ligament and what happens when a person eats. " Therefore many people who have dental implants or dentures complain that they can not control chewing or biting well due to lack periodontal ligament.

How have conducted research on the link between reptiles and dental implants?

The research team created a three-dimensional model of the skull of a reptile Tuatara to study the relationship between gums and muscles. Evidence suggested that people with implants and dentures are likely to choose certain types of food, lack of periodontal ligament. Dr. Curtis added: "Tuatara Lizard will live up to 60 years in the wild without teeth to change because they have an unconscious ability to measure strength and power of contraction of the jaw muscles."

"To support the health and well-being in old age is important to appreciate how we humans have developed an extraordinary ability to adapt to different situations. This research helps us understand some processes occurring in the human body and the human brain," he Douglas told cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk PhD.
