There is a particular kind of dentistry that loves to borrow the language of science while quietly avoiding its inconvenience. It speaks in a calm, serious tone about “biological harmony,” “meridian interference,” “hidden toxicity,” and the alleged danger of root canal treated teeth, as if the problem with modern healthcare is not lack of evidence, […]

The power of magnification

Pablo Salmeron — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 07:41:52 +0000

It was taken before the obturation with the canals already cleaned and […]

Curvy roots on a first upper molar

Pablo Salmeron — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 07:27:51 +0000
