Or, as it turns out, an awesome viral film gone global. His [piece of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-of-the-future) is made from 28,000 human teeth (URGH). So far he has treated 100,000 patients, and ‘harvested’ 28,000 diseased teeth from his patients. The tower includes five different types of diseased teeth and has been made using various unspecified adhesive materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dental Hygiene Awareness:** The trend of using shock factor art installations to raise dental hygiene awareness and encourage regular check-ups. - **Alternative Art Materials:** The trend of using unconventional and repurposed materials in art installations for sustainable and eco-friendly practices. - **Viral Art Installations:** The trend of creating thought-provoking and shareable art installations to gain widespread attention and global impact through social media. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dentistry:** The dentistry industry can leverage innovative tools and technologies to make dental hygiene education more interactive and engaging. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore more sustainable and unconventional materials to create thought-provoking installations that raise awareness about social and environmental issues. - **Social Media and Marketing:** The social media and marketing industry can capitalize on the trend of viral and shareable art installations to promote awareness for various brands and causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Acrylic Glass Cubic Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t72-dental-clinic.md) - [Elevated Dental Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paste-dental.md) - [Revitalizing Oral Care Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vvardis-1.md) - [Dental Office-Transformed Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ol6.md) - [Architectural Sugar Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-story-of-salt-and-sugar.md) - [AI-Powered Dental Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-dental-camera.md) - [Mask-Made Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidal-stories.md) - [CD-Comprised Towering Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratagems.md) - [Confident Smile Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquafresh.md)
