As brother Robert said, nice blade and welcome to the SOTD, from a fellow Sweden!
Nice SOTD:s everyone and even though I´ve been sick (infection in an old root canal job, pain and dentist bill has not been fun) I´ve looked in here almost every day. Thank you guys!

Congrats on the D01...they are fantastic brushes...The density is unmatched by any other brush. Well done. Good trade.

Thank you, Robert! Absolutly, great brushes! It´s strange though, that they have such a soft touch/hair, but still have a really good backbone
The dentist refused to give me a good/strong pencilin though and it took three days to convince them that I needed something stronger and when I got that, it turned really fast (within 12 hours).

Thank you Robert! I kind of get it, that we stand infront of a disaster, re antibiotics. I really do. I used to work in the health care area for while and it´s a pontential threat, for sure. However, the pain I was in and the fever I had for many days, should have told them ... and to be fair it did, eventually. I´ve only experienced pain like this once before, after surgery and a 10 days stay in a hospital. But I´m happy it´s over now and kudos to all involved, even though I didn´t think so 24 hours ago

Mikael,
If it was that bad, then it's understandable. I am glad you are feeling much better.

BTW: I found a few pictures of a root canal from my colleague. These are SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) images of a bisected tooth...you can see where the nerve (and where the root canal) was. Areas of biofilm infection are shown with arrows. They identified these as biofilms using generic bacterial DNA biomarkers (see red area superimposed with the SEM image).

SEM of root canal/nerve (and bisected tooth)


Higher magnification of biofilm area


Even higher magnification


Red highlight is the biofilm



Max: Sorry for hijacking the SOTD thread for this, but I thought some of the guys may appreciate this
