Several countries are seeking to ban by 2030 mercury-based dental amalgams, a common filling material for treating tooth decay, citing their supposed toxicity to human health.

Research published in 2023 in Scientific Reports, studying 1,675 people, found a disturbing trend: individuals who didn't brush their teeth before bed were more likely to require hospital care for heart conditions like heart failure and arrhythmias.

This correlation can be attributed to the overnight accumulation of plaque and bacteria, leading to gum disease and subsequent systemic inflammation. Chronic inflammation can damage blood vessels, increase cardiac stress, and elevate cardiovascular disease risk.

Thus, brushing teeth at night is vital for both oral health and cardiovascular protection.

In the cutting-edge world of biotechnology, researchers have taken a major step toward eliminating one of humanity’s oldest oral enemies—tooth decay—through the use of nanoparticle-based vaccines. These nanoparticles, structures as small as a billionth of a meter, act like guided missiles, delivering key antigens from the Streptococcus mutans bacteria directly to immune cells. Instead of simply injecting a substance, these vaccines smartly stimulate the immune system to launch a rapid, robust, and long-lasting defense against decay-causing bacteria—like an advanced early warning system for the human mouth.

These nanovaccines are typically made from materials like PLGA (poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid), which are not only biodegradable and safe, but also capable of controlled antigen release. In animal studies, injection of these vaccines led to high levels of IgA antibodies in saliva and IgG antibodies in the bloodstream—immune soldiers that neutralize bacteria before they can settle on teeth.

Researchers hope this technology will soon enter clinical trials and pave the way for the world’s first universal anti-cavity vaccine. Just imagine—a simple childhood vaccine that could offer years of protection for dental health, without the need for constant brushing or costly treatments. Though there’s still a journey ahead, the outlook is promising—a world where children’s smiles are protected from decay from their earliest days, thanks to nanovaccines.

Japanese researchers have initiated the world's first human trial of a drug aimed at regenerating teeth, following successful animal studies where the drug induced new tooth growth without significant side effects. The clinical trial began in October 2024 at Kyoto University Hospital and involves administering the experimental drug to healthy adult males aged 30 to 64 who are missing at least one tooth. The primary objective is to assess the drug's safety profile. This groundbreaking therapy works by suppressing a protein known as USAG-1, which inhibits tooth development; by blocking this protein, the drug stimulates the growth of new teeth from latent tooth buds present in the human jaw. Previous animal studies demonstrated that a single dose of the drug successfully promoted tooth regeneration in mice, ferrets, and dogs. If these human trials confirm the drug's safety and efficacy, researchers anticipate that it could become available for public use by 2030, offering a potential alternative to dentures and implants for individuals with tooth loss.

Edward Mordrake, born in the 19th century, is remembered for one of the most astonishing anomalies documented in medical history: an additional face on the back of his head. This condition, known as craniofacial duplication or diprosopus, is extremely rare and is characterized by the presence of a partial or complete facial structure on the back of the head. Although the additional face lacked full functionality, such as muscle control or the ability to speak, it was said to be capable of moving its eyes, smiling, and displaying expressions. However, these movements were not connected to the primary brain.

According to accounts of the time, this second face would whisper unsettling things, further exacerbating Mordrake’s mental anguish. 19th-century doctors, constrained by the lack of advanced technology and medical knowledge, were unable to provide adequate treatment for his condition. Isolated and tormented both physically and psychologically, Edward Mordrake took his own life at the age of 23, leaving behind a story that continues to fascinate and perplex the world.
