News: Stone age dentistry, 3000 years before Earth created! |
"Stone age man used dentist drill
Stone age people in Pakistan were using dental drills made of flint
9,000 years ago, according to researchers.
Teeth from a Neolithic graveyard in Mehgarh in the country's
Baluchistan province show clear signs of drilling.
Analysis of the teeth shows prehistoric dentists had a go at curing
toothache with drills made from flint heads.
The team that carried out the work say close examination of the teeth
shows the tool was "surprisingly effective" at removing rotting dental
tissue.
A total of eleven drilled crowns were found, with one example showing
evidence of a complex procedure involving tooth enamel removal
followed by carving of the cavity wall.
Four of the teeth show signs of decay associated with the drilled
hole.
"In all cases, marginal smoothing confirms that drilling was performed
on a living person who continued to chew on the tooth surfaces after
they had been drilled," the reserchers reported.
The form of dental treatment seen at Mehrgarh continued for about
1,500 years, before the practice was stopped in the area.
Flint drill heads are found abundantly at the Mehrgarh site, among
assemblages of beads made of bones, shell and turquoise. Writing in
Nature, the authors suggest that skills developed by bead craftsmen
also worked well on teeth.
Mehrgarh straddles a route between Afghanistan and the Indus Valley to
the south.
The researchers, led by Roberto Macchiarelli of the University of
Poitiers, France, said it was an early site for agriculture, where
barley, wheat, and cotton were grown."

Was it a form of trepanning?

Yes, and the patient survived for awhile.

More than 10 minutes, I suspect, if traces of subsequent survival were
preserved in the bone.
We should reintroduce the practice, as a part of the EAC health
management plan, for those who claim to be possessed by demons.
A lot more effective than exorcism.
Well, possibly not, but more painful, if done properly.
Gotta give the martyrs what they want!
