TALE OF THE TALLEST BUILDINGS The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and last remaining of the original seven wonders of the world. For 4,000 years, this architectural marvel was the tallest building in the world. But all reigns must end, and in 1311, the Lincoln Cathedral in England claimed the crown. It was the tallest building for 237 years until its spire collapsed in 1548. However, it was still the tallest building ever built until the Ulm Minster in Germany set a new record in 1890 — it’s still the tallest church in the world. SHORTS SHOOK THE WORLD In the sizzling summer of 1937, something extraordinary happened on the streets of Toronto that changed fashion forever. Two daring women went out in public wearing shorts. Yes, shorts! The sight was so unusual that it drew overwhelming attention and even caused a car wreck! While this moment caused quite a stir, it wasn’t until after World War II that shorts gained popularity.
SOME OF HISTORY’S QUIRKIEST MOMENTS
Grab your time travel hats! We are peeling back the layers of the past to reveal a few stories you won’t find in the history books, though history class would have been much more fun if they were! WHEN STILLNESS CREATED HISTORY Imagine a bustling Parisian street filled with life and activity. A photographer is there, about to take the first known photograph of a person. But the only person still enough to photograph was a man getting his shoes shined — the exposure time then was several hours, almost a whole day’s work! So, the shoe-shining duo became unexpected celebrities in history as the subject of the first known photograph of humans in 1838. A WHISTLE STOP FOR WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTIONS When trains first thundered across the American landscape, some women wouldn’t ride them — a bizarre myth emerged claiming that traveling at speeds of 50 mph would cause their uteruses to fly out of their bodies! Thankfully, at least two women saw past the strange notion to propose genuine improvements in the iron horses. In 1870, Eliza Murfey held 16 patents for her inventions to improve how bearings on train car wheels responded to their axles. In 1879, Mary Elizabeth Walton held two patents for reducing smokestack emissions.
Micro CT Scanner at PRO-Craft Dental Laboratory Introducing the Latest Advancement
INSIGHTS INTO CRANIOFACIAL SKELETAL DEVELOPMENT The Micro CT Scanner allows for in-depth analysis of trabecular bone, offering valuable insights into craniofacial skeletal development. By assessing bone structure, density, and connectivity parameters, dental professionals can gain a better understanding of craniofacial shape and abnormal growth. ADVANCEMENTS IN BIOMECHANICS — FINITE ELEMENT MODELING (FEM) Micro CT scanning supports biomechanics by facilitating Finite Element Modeling of teeth and bones. It enables precise sectioning of dental structures, aiding in understanding stress and strain distribution during procedures such as cavity preparation and tooth restoration. CONTRIBUTIONS TO TISSUE ENGINEERING The technology plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering, enabling the non-destructive examination of engineered tissues. This
At PRO-Craft Dental Laboratory, we take pride in staying at the cutting edge of dental technology and are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our arsenal of intelligent manufacturing tools — the Micro CT Scanner. Micro CT scanning swiftly converts physical impressions like PVS (polyvinyl siloxane) or elastomeric impressions into digital files. This technology removes the need for error-prone methods involving plaster models and offers precise and efficient digital workflows. Let's take a look at the applications of Micro CT scanning and explore how it can elevate your dental practice. ROOT CANAL TREATMENT PRECISION Micro CT scanning's ability to produce high- resolution 3D images works magic for helping to understand the complex morphology of root canals. It provides detailed surface area and volume information, enhancing the success of root canal procedures.
advancement contributes to the progress of regenerative medicine by studying various stages involved in creating bio-artificial organs. ENHANCING DENTAL IMPLANTS Micro CT scanning provides quick, high- resolution images assessing the connection between living bone and implanted material. It offers clear visibility of bone growth over the implant surface, determining the osseointegration and overall success of the implant. NON-DESTRUCTIVE ENAMEL THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS Micro CT scanning offers non-destructive enamel thickness measurements with high- resolution images, providing accurate insights into various stages of human evolution without resorting to destructive analysis methods. Additionally, it accurately measures the width of inner tooth structures, including dentin and the pulp chamber.
