Chew on This! A Dental Podcast

#82 Toronto Maple Leafs’ Jake McCabe’s Brutal Hockey Dental Injury


Listen Later

A hockey player picking up his own teeth from the ice? Fish getting dental impressions? Dive into these unexpected dental tales!

In this episode, we explore two intriguing dental stories. First, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe suffered a facial injury during a game against the Detroit Red Wings, resulting in him collecting his teeth from the ice before continuing to play. After receiving dental treatment, he later cracked a repaired tooth by biting his nail. This incident highlights the frequent dental challenges faced by hockey players.

Next, we delve into innovative research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, where scientists developed a method to take dental impressions of small live fish. By creating specialized tiny impression trays and materials, and carefully sedating the fish, they successfully performed this procedure on 60 fish without any fatalities. This research offers insights into fish teeth patterns, feeding habits, and evolutionary changes.
