Apparatus for treating cavities by spraying the same ingredients as teeth

Teeth regeneration technologyResearch on bacteria causing bacteria and bacteria causing tooth decayA revolutionary enzyme that melts only "tooth caviar" and leaves good botanism that works wellHas appeared, various approaches to treatment of decayed teeth have been attempted, but a device to treat the same components blasted with teeth has appeared.

Because it uses the same ingredients as teeth, it is expected that recurrence of dental caries will be suppressed if realized if it is realized, it can be used for the prevention of periodontal disease.

Details are as below.
Tohoku University and other to develop a treatment device to spray the same ingredients as tooth to caries: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun

According to the report of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun,Tohoku UniversityAnd toothpaste to whiten teeth "Apagardo" etcSangi, Handling precision optical equipmentSendai NikonIt seems that they developed a device that blows fine powder of the same ingredient as teeth at high speed on the part scraped with a decayed tooth and treats it.

I major in nanomechanics at Tohoku UniversityChikamoto KikawaApplied by the professor 's quantitative injection technique of fine particles to be studied, the ingredients constituting teeth and bones used in "apaguard"Hydroxyapatite"It is possible to form a film in a short time at room temperature or atmospheric pressure by spraying fine particles.

As a result, it is expected that the recurrence of dental caries will be suppressed more than the treatment method which adheres resin and metal as it is to the conventional scraped part, and it is said that it can be used for prevention of periodontal disease if the composition of powder is changed , We are going to start clinical trials aiming at commercialization in three years.

Two types of prototypes, electric type capable of accurate injection control and type that can be reduced in cost with simple structure, are prototyped, so they are similar in shape to a drill used for dental treatment, so they can be handled easily is.
