Another intersting link I found was
John hawks' blog
Most interesting for the OP was this comment at the end:
All those things weigh against the hypothesis that this tooth has had dental work. And yet, there is something unusual about it, and this hypothesis should be absolutely trivial to test. The CT scan may be enough, although with its resolution I would guess that a radiograph may be more convincing. A simple look at the specimen would be enough.
Or a direct radiocarbon date -- which despite the sampling of collagen for DNA testing, was never performed.
So, I would like to see the radiograph.
My emphasis... huh?
