No More Fillings

By on June 29, 2010 in Ideas

Discovery News:

Dentists could soon hang up their drills. A new peptide, embedded in a soft gel or a thin, flexible film and placed next to a cavity, encourages cells inside teeth to regenerate in about a month, according to a new study in the journal ACS Nano. This technology is the first of its kind.

The new gel or thin film could eliminate the need to fill painful cavities or drill deep into the root canal of an infected tooth.
“It’s not like toothpaste,” which prevent cavities, said Nadia Benkirane-Jessel, a scientist at the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale and a co-author of a recent paper. “Here we are really trying to control cavities (after they develop).”

    About time! We need to do more about helping the teeth we have instead of just drilling or replacing them. This is something I hope comes to market very soon.

    I’m waiting! This is a great idea. Since fluoride, people don’t have as many cavities but some of us still do. Hope to see it advertised in dental offices soon.
