    Very small test group (24 edentulous and 25 dentate control participants). Probably have similar results from wearers of tartan pattern socks and contol group of non-tartan pattern socks.

    Perhaps a study of traumatic tooth loss as a result of falls related to gait instability would be more entertaining.
     
  6. It makes me sad. This just screams "post hoc ergo propter hoc". The error is written into the very title. Yet educated people wrote it, and nobody thought to point and laugh during the process of getting it published!

    I wonder if we can mandate all students to have "correlation =/= causation" tattoo'd somewhere on their body's before they are allowed to graduate...
     
  7. Might as well take 25 people with wigs, 25 people without wigs and conclude that wigs cause cancer!

    Be fair now, in the process of their career, many rugby players lose teeth. It could be because they lack stability when running, therefore are subject to more tackles and are therefore kicked in the mouth. with BR insoles they would be stable, would be tackled less, would not lose their teeth, would therefore have a higher gait velocity and would therefore not be subject to losing their teeth.... I think that I'm losing the will to live.
