Teeth in earlier human populations

Determination of Radionuclide Concentration in Human Teeth in Najaf Governorate, Iraq

Introduction: 238U decays with alpha particles emission into 234Th and the series ends with 206Pb. The unstable nucleus loses the energy with emitting ionizing alpha particles for reaching a stable state. It is undergoing alpha decay with decay energy (4.679 MeV). Alpha particles enter the human and animal bodies through inhalation of air or ingestion of contaminated food and water. This study ...

Chemical analysis of human teeth.

THE dental literature contains numerous articles concerning the chemical analysis of human teeth.1-9 Most of this work was done in the early 1930's. Naturally, in these analyses the common chemical methods and procedures known at the time were used. Recently, a request was received for an analysis of some Greek teeth to compare their chemical compositions with that of domestic teeth. In recent ...

Three-dimensional simulation of human teeth and its application in dental education and research

Background: A comprehensive database, comprising geometry and properties of human teeth, is needed for dentistry education and dental research. The aim of this study was to create a three-dimensional model of human teeth to improve the dental E-learning and dental research.   Methods: In this study, a cross-section picture of the three-dimensional model of the teeth was used. CT-Scan im...
