Now, get out of that dentist's chamber fast!

There is good news for those who do not want to spend too much time on the dental chair as researchers have now discovered a new dental filling material that is faster to harden.

The new generation of photo-active materials is based on the element Germanium.

In modern dentistry, white composite materials that are more commonly are based on photo-active materials that harden when they are exposed to light.

But as the light does not penetrate very deeply into the material, the patients often have to endure a cumbersome procedure in which the fillings are applied and hardened in several steps.

The penetration depth of the light depends on its wavelength. "Usually, light in the violet and ultraviolet region is used," said Robert Liska from Vienna University of Technology.

It is also possible to use light with longer wavelengths, which penetrates deeper into the material, but then the polymerisation process is less efficient.

If the filling cannot be hardened in one step, the procedure has to be repeated several times and if the cavity is large, this can be rather uncomfortable.

This problem can now be solved with a new Germanium-based molecule, said the study.

The molecule is split into two parts by blue light, creating radicals, which initiate a chain reaction: molecular compounds, which are already present in the filling, assemble into polymers, and the material hardens.

The Germanium-based photo initiator was created at the Vienna University of Technology and then extensively tested by Ivoclar Vivadent.

Have garlic during winters

Apart from adding flavour to your food, garlic is extremely beneficial to your health, especially during winter months. A good source of calcium, phosphorus and selenium, the pungent spice is also rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Manganese. Here's looking at some other benefits of the spice. 

Increases blood circulation: Garlic helps reduce blood coagulation, thereby, reducing the likelihood of blood clots and the risk of having a heart stroke. 

Maintains blood pressure: According to several studies, garlic lowers the amount of cholesterol in your body and also helps control your blood pressure. 

Stimulates the immune system: Winter months mean the increased likelihood of contacting flu and common cold. Having garlic in your diet may reduce your chances of catching infection as the spice has antiseptic, anti-fungal and nutritive properties that boosts the immune system.Next time, you have hot soup in the winter, add some garlic in the recipe too.

Supports recovery from cancer: Since it contains germanium, an anti-cancer agent, it is known to kill intestinal parasites related to cancer. 

Prevents allergies: Killing fungi like warts, garlic helps strengthen your body's defenses against allergies. It even helps regulate your blood sugar levels.
