Success in dental care: scientific lab makes human teeth
Scientists have found new laboratory-developed teeth that can change the filler and implants currently used. With the worldwide becoming a problem, this research is a success in the field of dentistry.
In short
- Scientists grow human teeth in the laboratory using cells of the patient
- It is ready to be a possible option for filler and transplantation
- Research can revolutionize dental care
Scientists have now successfully grown human teeth in the laboratory.
Researchers at King’s College London and Imperial College London have grown human teeth using a patient’s cells after 10 years of study. These teeth have the ability to integrate jaws and even self-reproach, in dentistry treatment offer the path opening and option for traditional filler and dental transplantation.
Loss of teeth is a common problem affecting millions of people worldwide, as a result of which the quality of life and expensive dental remedies have been compromised.
Dental options such as filling and implant provide stops which are limited solutions. Filling can weaken the structure of teeth over time, a limited lifetime, and can increase the risk of decay and sensitivity.
Transplantation, although more durable, requires aggressive surgery, should be supported by a healthy jaw, and cannot fully restore the function of natural teeth.
The new research published in ACS publications indicates the future of dental restoration in which individuals can re -organize their teeth.
The team created a material that mimics the environment required for the development of teeth. This made it possible for cells that make teeth to interact and start the process of development.
Dr. of the regenerative dental in Kings, Dr. Angelova-Wolponi said that this innovation “can bring revolution in dental care.”
Researcher Xuechen Zhang said that the teeth developed in the laboratory would be strong, long lasting and free from rejection risks, offering a biologically compatible solution compared to current methods.
Researchers are now discovering two potential future applications: either growing an entire tooth into the laboratory before implanting it, or inserting the initial stage tooth cells directly into the patient’s jaw where they will naturally mature.
The previous efforts failed due to poor cellular communication, but this success ends that challenge.
Still in its early stages, this discovery of the ability to re -organize natural teeth can mark the beginning of a new era in regenerative dentistry.
