Graphene Shows Promise For Super Strong Dental Fillings (elsevier.com)

Zothecula writes: A team of researchers from four institutions located in Romania and St. Kitts have worked together to determine whether graphene could be used to create more durable dental materials. They worked to test how toxic (abstract) different forms of the material were to teeth, with promising results. "Typical metal fillings can corrode and composite fillings are not very strong; Graphene, on the other hand, is 200 times stronger than steel and doesn't corrode, making it a prime new candidate for dental fillings."

Re: Probably too strong

If you're eating ice cream and hot coffee that's a 200F range, although the exposure times aren't very long, so no idea how much the teeth heat and cool by.
