Scientists developed a new dental implant that resembles natural teeth, with sensory function by integrating with nerves and soft tissue.
Biodegradable nanofiber coating, along with stem cells and nerve-growth proteins, allows it to grow into gum tissue and reconnect with the brain without drilling.
Early trials on rodents showed nerve integration and natural function within six weeks. Human trials are yet to be done.
What is your opinion and thoughts on regenerative dentistry?
Interesting
The concept of regenerative dentistry is dynamic and holds much potential for the reconstruction of dental and periodontal tissues using technology that incorporates stem cells, biomaterials, and growth factors.
Sounds wonderful. Regenerative Dentistry can bring impactful changes in the field of dentistry.
That’s something new ,good to know
That would be great
Got to know something interesting.
Regenerative dentistry uses the body’s natural ability to heal and grow new tissues to repair damaged teeth and gums, offering hope for long-lasting solutions beyond traditional treatments.
This breakthrough in regenerative dentistry is truly exciting, offering the potential for implants that function and feel just like natural teeth.
Very interesting topic for dental practitioners. Although it is yet to be tested in humans for safety and predictability, it holds good promise for regenerative dentistry.
Proprioception is the factor that determines the natural function of a tooth. A technology that provides such proprioception through nerves and vessels is truly revolutionary and can help reform the entire field of dentistry.
Stem cells being totipotent can develop into any form of cell. This can be good use of them, as a person’s own stem cells are used therefore creating less chances of negative immune response.
None of the tooth replacement options available till date matches the functionality and feel of a natural tooth completely.
Advancements in stem cell technology and specific protein inhibition genes is a breakthrough innovation in the field of regenerative dentistry. Dental stem cells are autologous and can be sourced easily from pulp tissue, periodontal ligament, tooth buds of babies,wisdom tooth.
Stem cells, especially dental pulp stem cells, have proven to have improved osseointegration in dental implants compared to traditional implants. They improve implant primary stability and long-term retention. It could also help to mimic the natural tooth function.
Very interesting concept! Smart tooth technology sounds like an exciting development in dental care - innovations like this could really change how we monitor and maintain oral health in the future.
