Scientists successfully use a gel to regrow tooth enamel. It may end Dental Fillings.

A Chinese research team has developed a gel that can induce the growth of tooth enamel with a precise maintenance of the original structural complexity within 48 hours.

So, the Temporary Dental fillings may soon be a thing of the past.

My cousin is a dental assistant and she told me a story one of her professors told the class, I don't remember the date of the story but I heard it 5 years ago, basically there was research conducted to regrow human teeth by implanting a clump of cells in the place of an extracted tooth, he said that the moment the experiment showed success the team was disbanded the research buried and all the members of the team were moved elsewhere with a very healthy bonus for going away without making a fuss because what else could they do? Millions and millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people are employed by the industry, making that go away isn't easy.... we'll probably wayt forever for this gel to hit the free market. Maybe our grandchildren will see it in their lifetime 😕😕

How can even nails regenerate but not teeth on their own :(((

When this treatment will be available in india

There are some limitations to this research though:
1. The enamel grow back is really thin, only several micro meters. If you already see decay on your teeth, it is probably much thicker to that.
2. One of the components used to catalyze the reaction is not very stable and might cause a little bit poison effect.

There is a toothpaste on market slightly modifies the components( poison side gone), but as I mentioned, it can only help grow back very thin layer of enamel. If you already have decay, your erosion speed is probably much quicker than the building speed.

In dentistry, everything is always in the near future. Dont hold your breath. Sonar, stem cells, now gel. 10 years from now, you will be reading the same article. Probably by then they would have tested it on pigs and once more say "in the near future"

The dental fillings themselves are the problem. Resilient and technically advanced they have become over 180 years from starting out as metal, they are still foreign to the mouth and tooth structure itself. That is why it would be so beneficial to be able to grow real dentin and enamel back into the tooth crown. And no, the dentists, dental industry, and or pharmaceuticals would not loose their jobs over this. Bacteria and cavities will always exist. It's like trying to take air out of the environment. Dental hygiene will always need to be maintained, so will check ups and tooth products etc.

Regenerative endodontic treatment can be done on mature permanent root canal treated teeth.
If yes then in your known reference can suggest a endodontics clinic or hospital name for doing this treatment please reply me as soon as possible.

What happened since the first publication of research in 2019?

[شهد-سيل]

Stem Cells
the teeth When is this technique applied?

[musicforever]

I need this medicine please suggest drug name

[zdigk]

OK can you put it on the market now then please...

[dayanesantoslima]

Does anyone know when this research has gone through clinical trials?

[rapolaslatvys]

will this gel induce enamel growth on dentin or only on pre-existing enamel?

[lazarusblackwell]

I need this

My teeth had a lot of damage when i was a teen

I ate a lot of sweet food

I pray that they develop that gel for human use

[bertmagert]

This is incredible, hopefully in the next decade maximum enamel will be able to be regrown and strengthened naturally.

[NitinYadav-yejh]

Yes yes now I don't have to live my whole life with cavity in teeth I am soo happy

[sheamarcelle]

I didn't understand anything that was said except "tooth enamel."

[aphilzitrone]

Calcium and prostate ions? I dont not understand. Phosphat?

[ermingtondkhar]

[sweethoneyraspberry]
