The extinction of dentures is approaching

Permanent teeth or wisdom teeth can all be used to develop into a fully functional tooth.

The 21st century may be the time when we witness the extinction of papers in the medical model, the next candidate is most likely false teeth . A group of researchers from RIKEN Development Biology Center, Japan found a way to get you back to your lost teeth. It is important that they are "real" , not a false tooth made of porcelain, metal or composite materials.

Dentures may soon become extinct in the future.

This is a new technique used on dental germs (the group of cells that formed early before developing into a complete tooth). Scientists claim that they can separate a single tooth and make them grow into two real teeth. Then, this tooth can be implanted to complete the missing position in the jaw. It will be a completely real, fit and your own tooth.

The scientists published their study in Nature, saying that all current implant methods cannot restore the function of the tooth. Specifically users will not be able to fully sense stimulation when using them to chew. Therefore, this new method will certainly be a completely new prospect of renewable dentistry.

In the laboratory at the RIKEN Development Biology Center, scientists have initially tested this method successfully on mice. They use nylon fibers to cut a single tooth spore.

Over 15 days, two half of the teeth were able to develop into two separate teeth. After being re-implanted, mice can use them to chew normally. However, the stimuli on them only reached half.

1 in 10 people lose their teeth.

Currently, there are 11 million people using dentures in the UK. Among them, there are nearly 1 million people aged 16-44. Most of these people lose their teeth because of problems of dental disease, not old age. Accidents, the impact of drug use, malnutrition and birth defects are the next causes for 1 out of 10 people losing their teeth.

Dr Takashi Tsuji, the lead researcher, said the new method will be especially useful for all such cases, especially for those with an abnormal development of teeth due to birth defects and chipping. lips or Down syndrome.

Permanent teeth or wisdom teeth can all be used to develop into a fully functional tooth. Takashi Tsuji said he and the group will soon put stem cell therapy into their research. This process will certainly require more complex experiments. However, a test on humans will probably soon be done.
