New Stem Cell Research Could Put An End To Dental Visits | Mach | NBC News

The dentist will do everything in their power to not let this go through. SMH I hope this comes out soon.

[netsfan]

They did this 16 years ago but they dont want to bring this out because the dental industry will change and will make less money

[bdk]

Ill volunteer for that to be tested...

[guaranteedallauthentic]

I am willing to travel anywhere on earth just to have natural teeth again.

[pedrogarcia]

I really hope this becomes a reality quite soon

[omarsoliman]

When in what year are we now in 2020 and there is nothing available like this in dentistry. Many suffer and sing from them. I suffer a lot from dental fillings and nerve treatment, and I am still young. Most of my teeth are damaged.

[terminator]

2020 nothing found. But we are very good with nuclear weapons ...

[cathyboyd]

Yes this should have already been available. This is 2021. So when??? Plus dental care is so expensive... It shouldn't be that way.

[pany]

7years since this video was uploaded.... And we are still far away😢

[jorgeb]

I would like to know when this coming up please someone tell me when this would be available thanks

[baklava]

Yes It’s about time we’re able to regrow our teeth! However, the greedy dentists probably will lobby against this

[davidbaldwin]

I would love to get rid of this composite tooth filling I have. With stem cells I am hoping they will be able to drill out the filling and replace it with grown in dentin from generated stem cells.

[ellehell]

The question is: when does this revolutionary practice begins? And if it does how accurate is it? Please do not get people all hyped up the wait can be agonising as well as hopeful.

[trademark]

7 years since then and still we seem no closer to seeing this become a public option.

[victorshkred]

Its cool but how long we watch this videos with same words: may, maybe, could, whish, hope, future - I can, I am, I have, I do now doesn't it sound better ?

[fredpourlesintimes]

If it's possible to have all my teeth back, I will be really thankful.

[kafkollectif]

I was just looking this up and there’s a dentist At Colombia University that’s working on it and there are some studies about to start✨

[ajaajo]

This would be great and helpful for many people

[avitarmagnus]

I did this in 1998 in Brazil in transgeneic mice just couldnt get anyone to put up the 2B usd to pay for it!!! so we buried it!!!

[davidbaldwin]

I hope there is a cure for artificial tooth fillings in a couple years. It would be great to regenerate back the lost parts of the tooth crown lost to cavities and drilling. Just drill out the existing filling and regrow the hole back in with regenerated dentin grown from stem cells. I have collected a notebook of researched information pertaining to this and I hope it comes to reality very soon.
