5. Vacuum system <strong>to</strong><br />

Measure odon<strong>to</strong>blasts<br />

By high-speed drilling<br />

Picture 1. A normal <strong>to</strong>oth, with its listed parts.<br />

Picture 2. Magnification of projections in dentinal tubules under<br />

the enamel.<br />

Picture 3. The drill creates a vacuum and heat when high speed<br />

drilling <strong>to</strong>uches the surface of the <strong>to</strong>oth.<br />

Picture 4. Odon<strong>to</strong>blasts (projections in the dentinal tubules) are<br />

sucked out <strong>by</strong> the high speed drilling.<br />

Picture 5. A diagrammatic drawing of the vacuum test meter at<br />

Seamen‟s Lab in Germany. Low speed drilling creates no<br />

vacuum through the dentinal tubules.<br />

High speed drilling results in a rise in temperature and<br />

creation of a pressure drop (partial vacuum) causes the loss of<br />

the <strong>to</strong>oth. Infection can start within a few days of high speed<br />

drilling leaving the dentinal tubules open for bacteria <strong>to</strong> pass in<strong>to</strong><br />

the pulp chamber causing infection. In my case, <strong>to</strong>oth loss did<br />

not develop a problem immediately. In some of the ten teeth I<br />

lost, the infection was present for three years before producing<br />

the clinical symp<strong>to</strong>m of pain.<br />
