Technology to regenerate teeth to treat dental caries

Stuffings such as gold and ceramics are currently used as a method of treating tooth decay, but according to the latest research it seems that it may be possible to regenerate teeth.

Details are as below.
Tooth Regeneration May Replace Drill-and-Fill

According to this article, Sally Marshall, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, specializes in materials chemistry and seems to have found the best way to do research on tooth regeneration.

This means that enamel and dentin constituting the tooth can be replenished and teeth can be regenerated, and it is said that filling materials such as gold and ceramics currently used will be unnecessary .

Sally Marshall has already succeeded in treating a part of teeth in an experiment using a solution containing calcium ions, but making it possible to treat the entire tooth is a challenge, It is said that this technology will be used more than a few years in dental clinics and other places.

The tooth enamel and dentin have a very complicated structure and are very strong, but since they are made from minerals, they are easily eroded by acids generated by bacteria and carbonic acid of cola It seems to be. In other words, is it better to be careful about acidic ones?
