A set of human teeth under an orthopantomogram. Tooth regeneration is a stem cell based regenerative medicine procedure in the field of tissue engineering and stem cell biology to replace damaged or lost teeth by regrowing them from autologous stem cells. [1]
It is still unclear exactly how EMD participates in the regeneration process. [5] But it has been demonstrated that EMD serves to promote periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation and growth and inhibit epithelial cell proliferation and growth; [3] this is a key feature in EMD-promoted periodontal tissue regeneration, because the faster-growing epithelium will ordinarily compete very ...
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol which provides the sensation of tasting sweetness in foods, particularly chewing gum, without providing sucrose which is the only sugar that S.mutans are capable of using to produce the polyacrylamide adhesive which allows them to bind to the teeth. Xylitol does not actively reduce or harm the presence or capacities ...
A person's baby teeth are known to contain stem cells that can be used for regeneration of the dental pulp after a root canal treatment or injury. These cells can also be used to repair damage from periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease that causes bone loss and severe gum recession.
Teeth whitening strips are easy-to-use, peel-and-stick strips that you wear on your teeth for 15 to 30 minutes each day. "Most kits come with a 30-day supply and are relatively easy to use," says ...
2007 – Japanese scientists have bred mice almost full new teeth, but without a root. 2009 – from the stem cells were grown full teeth in mice, and even managed to grow a tooth root, previously it was not possible, but there is a problem, it is that grown teeth were slightly less "native" teeth.
COVID-19 spurs the immune system’s production of proteins called antibodies that attack the novel coronavirus and are carried in the liquid portion of the blood, known as plasma, STAT explains.
The use of lasers in treating periodontal disease has been seen by some dental professionals as controversial. [6] The American Academy of Periodontology stated in 1999 that it was "not aware of any randomized blinded controlled longitudinal clinical trials, cohort or longitudinal studies, or case-controlled studies indicating that 'laser excisional new attachment procedure (or Laser ENAP)' or ...
