False teeth have a long and glorious history, complete with battles, assassinations, revolutions and new types of false teeth. Julius Caesar credited his many military victories to his set of faux pearly twinklers, saying "They are my advisor, mentor and closest friend." Indeed, the night when he was assassinated, it took four praetorian guards to subdue his false teeth, which fought bravely in defense of their master. Karl Marx said "The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of false teeth".
