The tooth was placed on a sheet of white paper on top of a lit viewbox and propped up with a paper clip through the paper. One hot light held to the left with a 75 watt household bulb. Camera handheld.

Well, Dr. Who, its a great shot. I'm not sure whether I'm more comfortable with the idea this was just lying around the house, or that it was extracted just for this picture. Maybe I should just be thankful you cleaned it. For technical performance and originality, its a 9
Great idea. Picture is so sharp, that I have to say it's both gross and beautiful. Lighting is great and almost to the level of blown detail giving it a great light on white effect.
I think to really make this work would be to use the rule of thirds and have a large amount of negative space on one side of the tooth. Maybe have it laying on its side to create a shadow. The lighting seems a tad harsh to my eye.
