Coloured SEM of a dental drill drilling into tooth
Dental drill on tooth. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a diamond-tipped dental drill (orange) drilling a hole into a tooth (blue). The drills rough diamond tip (lighter orange) is extremely hard. Drills are used to remove decayed or damaged areas of tooth in preparation for dental fillings. Decay, or dental caries, is caused by plaque, a sticky mixture of food particles, bacteria and saliva that builds up on teeth. The bacteria in plaque feed on sugars in the food particles, and produce an acid by- product that slowly destroys the tooth. Magnification: x10 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of a dental drill in action, as it delicately drills into a tooth. The vibrant colors bring to life the intricate details of this essential tool used in dentistry. A diamond-tipped drill, depicted in shades of orange, exhibits its remarkable hardness and precision while creating a hole within the blue-colored tooth. Dental drills play a crucial role in oral health care by removing decayed or damaged areas of teeth before dental fillings are applied. Dental caries, commonly known as decay, is caused by plaque—a sticky mixture consisting of food particles, bacteria, and saliva—that accumulates on teeth surfaces. Plaque's bacterial inhabitants thrive on sugars present in these food particles and produce an acidic by-product that gradually erodes tooth enamel. At 10 times magnification with dimensions measuring 6x7cm, this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) offers an extraordinary glimpse into the world of dentistry. It highlights the advanced technology employed to combat dental disorders such as caries. Science Photo Library presents this visually stunning image capturing the essence of dentistry's vital tools and their significant impact on oral health. This photograph serves as a reminder that regular visits to your dentist can help prevent or address dental issues effectively using state-of-the-art equipment like diamond-tipped drills.
