The cure for "tearing" of ancient people

From learning about the tooth decay dating back to 14,000 years, researchers at the University of Bologna found the oldest evidence of how ancient humans treated dentistry.

Accordingly, instead of using sterile instruments, anesthesia, our ancestors removed the painful teeth with sharpened stone tools.

This conclusion was made after experts analyzed the teeth of a 25-year-old male remains. This tooth was first discovered at Belluno, Italy in 1988 under good storage conditions.

Further research by analyzing teeth with electron microscopy, experts discovered evidence that the deep teeth were treated by sharp, flint tools . So this part of the tooth has a big scratch and chipping. The researcher also noted that the old victims must have suffered from toothache and pain when they were examined by an ancient dentist.

Researcher Stefano Benazzi, who led the study, said: " Dental cavities have a rather severe tooth damage. However, this finding shows that in the Stone Age, people began to recognize Awareness of the harmful effects of dental infections and the creation of a sharp stone tooth removal tool to remove the infected part and clean the cavity ".

According to experts, this is also the oldest archaeological evidence about dentistry to date. These results will provide experts with a better understanding of dental techniques of ancient people.
