What is a crown build up?

A crown build up is done when a person's tooth needs a crown. Usually cause my a large filling breaking or a tooth is broken. Once a tooth is more filling then natural tooth they usually want to put a crown on it. The tooth needs to have a solid foundation in order to support a crown, therefore they have to use special material in order to build the tooth up and prepare it for a crown. Also after any root canal, the dentist will want to put a build up in as teeth become very week after a root canal.. This ensure that the tooth is strong enough to support a crown.. Hope this helps

Why do America want a canal in South America?

America wanted a canal in South America (more specifically, Panama) to make the trip around North America easier. Back then, they used ships as the primary source of transportation, and it was easier to build a canal in Panama then go ALL the way around South America. Basically, it's there because Americans wanted the trip to be easier and less extensive.
