Technology to completely regenerate teeth and tooth roots lost by tooth decay and others

Although it seems that there is a case to lose teeth with decayed teeth etc., a technique to reproduce teeth and tooth roots perfectly has appeared.

We have already succeeded in regeneration experiments and it is said that applied research will be advanced so that human teeth can be fully regenerated in the future.

Details are as below.

According to Niigata Nippo's news report, Professor Nakahara Nakahara of the Department of Life and Dentistry at Nippon Dentistry University and a team of research teams such as Professor Satoshi Sato of Niigata Life Dental School of the same University succeeded in developing a culturing method to regenerate teeth using part of teeth I heard he did. Culture outside the body was the first attempt in the world, he said that he received the best prize of the Japan Oral Surgery Society.

In this experiment, the crown of the mouse (the tip of the tooth) was wrapped in a sheet of cells of the membrane covering the human's tooth root (tooth root) and cultured in a test tube. This technology is expected to lead to tooth regeneration medicine to replace the artificial dental implant (implant), and we plan to apply applied research so that human teeth can be perfectly regenerated 3 years later.

The merit of teeth regeneration technology is explained in the official page of Professor Nakahara Nakahara of the Department of Dentistry at Nippon Dentistry University below, and by making it possible to regenerate the root of the tooth and periodontal tissue, it is possible to use conventional inanimate materials (metal Titanium), it is said to provide a "reconstructed tooth implant" of a dream with a tough and supple periodontal ligament that could not be done.

In other words, the strength and flexibility of conventional implants using metallic titanium etc. was insufficient, but the technology developed this time is based on the tooth itself lost by regenerating the tooth root and periodontal tissue as well as the tooth It becomes possible to regain including the tooth root part to become, so it seems that it will bring new hope for those who have damaged teeth due to tooth decay and accidents.
