When did dentistry appear?

When your teeth hurt or there are other problems with them, you want to immediately put an end to this. The same was experienced by people in antiquity. Therefore, dentistry began to develop with the birth of civilization. Dentists have been around for as long as doctors in general.

Historical documents have been found that prove that in ancient times there were 52 rules for caring for teeth, they gave advice on how to make teeth shine, even how to breathe properly. Of course, in those days there was a lack of knowledge regarding teeth and their treatment.

In ancient Greece, about 2500 years ago, there were "dentists" who were engaged in the extraction of teeth. But they removed only decayed teeth. This continued until 1400 AD. e. With the invention of improved tools, others began to be removed.

In ancient times, they did not know what to do with a toothache. In Greece, when children suffered from it, they were given drugs to reduce pain. 200 years ago, dentists used to put a hot knife to the gum to relieve toothache. Holes in the teeth first began to close up in the Middle Ages. At first they were filled with wax and rubber. Later they began to use metals, especially lead and gold. The modern brush, by the way, was invented in 1498. At that time, Chinese "dentists" invented it for the use of the royal family.

About 100 years ago, if a person wanted to become a dentist, he had to practice with experienced doctors. And in 1840, a college was opened to train specialists - the College of Dental Surgery in Baltimore. This marked the beginning of the profession of dentists. And today, those who want to get this specialty must study 3-4 years in college, get a preliminary education, and then continue it for another 4 years in a higher dental institution.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Dual use battery 06.09.2023

Scientists have developed a unique hybrid battery system that can not only store and provide electricity, but also generate useful chemical compounds in the process.

Conventional batteries store energy in their electrodes and transfer it to the electrical grid when they are discharged. Another type of battery, redox batteries, store energy in chemicals that transition between two states while remaining inside the battery. The hybrid system combines both of these concepts to simultaneously store energy and create additional chemicals.

The key point in the development of this technology is the use of a bifunctional metal catalyst for the anode, made from a monoatomic alloy of rhodium and copper. This catalyst makes it possible to convert the furfural contained in the electrolyte into furfuryl alcohol when the battery is charged, and when the battery is discharged, furic acid is formed. For the cathode, the researchers used cobalt-doped nickel hydroxide material.

This innovative battery system has high energy and power density and is capable of producing both energy and chemical compounds simultaneously. For example, when storing 1 kWh of energy, the system produces 0,7 kg of furfuryl alcohol and 1 kg of furoic acid. This technology can have a wide range of applications, from home devices to industrial processes.
