Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / May 2008A tiny ultrasound device could help people regrow teeth?
What do you guys think of this? Do you think it holds any real promise? http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2006/06/28/teeth-grow.html > What do you guys think of this?

I have no knowledge of this kind of technology, but there are other methods already in use for similar purposes--a mineral slurry known as MTA. It works--sometimes. There is work being done with stem cells and (re)generation of entire tooth organs. This doesn't sound like particularly high-priority use of stem-cell therapy, but apparently there is something about stem cells and embryonic tooth organs that makes this a promising area to dig into using stem cells.

Absolutely, but there are genetic components that brushing and flossing simply won't overcome. > "John & Ninetta" <jsuljak@sentex.net> wrote in message >> I think us pros in this group would be much more enthusiastic if more >> people would brush more, floss more, eat better, and quit smoking. > > Absolutely, but there are genetic components that brushing and flossing > simply won't overcome. The good part is we can blame our parents for those! ;-) Steve > "John & Ninetta" <jsuljak@sentex.net> wrote in message >> I think us pros in this group would be much more enthusiastic if more >> people would brush more, floss more, eat better, and quit smoking. > > Absolutely, but there are genetic components that brushing and flossing > simply won't overcome. That is true, but these are things that you as an individual can change. Can't change the genetics.....yet. Genetics is only one factor in the dynamic.
