U.S. scientists surprise by their discoveries. This time the prestigious magazine of the Journal of Dental Research has published a revolutionary article on our teeth. Scientists from Columbia University, managed to grow ... real teeth.
They initiated a process in which stem cells are able to reproduce the entire tooth in just nine weeks. In the result teeth behave and look exactly like the real ones.
In the empty alveolus is placed special scaffolding growth factor. Stem cells are formed surrounded by scaffolding and a tooth in the right size and shape. Dr. Jeremy Mao, director of the scientific team who made this phenomenal discovery ensures that the tooth is unable to keep up with changes in the structure of the jaw bone, which progressed with time. Moreover, the method used by the scientists to reconstruct the tooth can also play the gums and bone tissues of periodontitis. Dr. Mao ensures that the discovery will revolutionize dentistry.
Today, people who have lost their teeth use dental implants to replace it. This method involves implantation of a special bolt to the gum simulating tooth root, which is applied to tooth crown. Such implants are perfectly mimic natural teeth and perform their functions well. This is the best current way to a nice set of teeth, but is contraindicated in some patients for transplantation of such implants.
The method proposed by American scientists is still at an experimental stage. New teeth grown in this way lived to see the event only laboratory rabbits. All indications are that we will have to wait a bit before our dentists offer us a new breed of teeth. It remains to implant treatment and patience. Between scientific discovery and the moment it is put into practical solutions often years go by.
Implants are today a very innovative solution. This well-thought-substitutes tooth roots that fuse perfectly with the human bone and accelerate healing. All this is thanks to nanotechnology solutions. Dentists have the implants coated with a special coating, which accelerates healing and allows for the reconstruction of all teeth in one day. This is standard in modern offices, the remainder of twenty years ago, even in the sphere of science sci-fi.
