Submission + - Cellphone Dental Implants Coming Soon

starexplorer2001 writes: Seems that new AT&T/BellSouth/Cingular merger might actually have some benefits in pushing the technology envelope. Developers are close to releasing a cellphone device that is implanted into your molars. From the article on HowStuffWorks: "Once implanted in a person's molar, the transducer caused the tooth to vibrate in response to radio signals. The physical structure of the jaw carried the tooth's vibrations to the inner ear, where the user, and no one else, could perceive them as sound. The implant's designers held dramatic demonstrations of this principle using a vibrating wand. Participants confirmed that they could hear crystal clear voices through their teeth. "
