Tooth regrowth with stem cells
What is a stem cell?
Stem cells are the raw materials of the body. Cells from which other cells with specialized functions are produced. Under the right conditions in the body or in the laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called stem cells. These original cells become new stem cells or specialized cells (distinction) They become more specific functions such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells or bone cells. No other cell in the body has the natural ability to produce new cell types.
Is there a way to regrow teeth with stem cells?
Columbia University Medical Broadcasting researchers in New York have claimed that they can find a solution for tooth regrowth with the help of the patient's stem cells.. These researchers have already proven the miracle of tooth regrowth. But the regrowth of permanent teeth in people has not yet been proven. In addition, after the regrowth of the permanent tooth, the new tooth actually grows in the empty space of the lost tooth and even has the possibility of merging with the surrounding gum tissue..
According to the report of the Journal of Dental Research and the tests conducted on mice, after using growth factors in their mouths, the raw materials of the regenerated bone and after the regrowth of the teeth were integrated within 9 weeks.. The researchers claim that this is the first time that such structures have been produced in a living organism. If the miracle of regrowth of teeth in humans is successful, it will have many benefits.
