Imagine that the tooth that you are missing, soon-to-be may not be necessary to replace the artificial implant, but will simply give you between. Scientists from King's College London are to do again a step closer. The team of professor Paula Sharpa reached a breakthrough result in the field of regenerative medicine: in the laboratory have successfully activated the growth of the tooth. Professor Paul Sharpe used cells from human gum (epithelial cells) and kombinoval them with cells from mice (mezenchymálne cells). 

After the transplant, this cell combination to mice has managed to nurture hybrid teeth with functional roots and structure similar to the natural passing. Although it is a hybrid of the teeth, this research represents a significant step towards the possibility of cultivation of fully human teeth on the clinical purposes.

“Hybrid teeth represent a revolutionary alternative to the titanium implant.”

Advantages over the implant:

Current dental implants they represent a proven and effective way of missing teeth, and offer excellent functionality and aesthetics. Despite their high success rate but is a solution that not renewed the biological structure of the tooth. It is in this direction can be biologically grown tooth in the future in addition to the traditional procedure.

Unlike traditional implantsthe jaw surgically place and often require a long period of healing, biologically grown teeth have the potential to naturally integrate with the surrounding tissue. Such compensation could in the long term offer better functionality, better biological compatibility and to minimize the risks associated with breakouts or thinning of the bonesthat is when implantátoch may occur. 

According to the candidate Xuechena Zhanga would "laboratory teeth" could be a more natural and trvácnejšiu alternative, which is easier to integrate into the jaw and eliminates the risk of rejection by the organism. It is therefore a crucial step towards a fully natural and regenerative dentistry, which in the future could replace invasive procedures. 

The future of regenerative dentistry:

In addition to the cultivation of the teeth, researchers from King's College London also target to stimulate the body's natural regeneration of teeth. The use of the medicinal product Tideglusiboriginally developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, they managed to activate the stem cells in the dental marrow and support the creation of dentínu, the teeth have proved themselves regenerate without the need for fillers.

This method could replace fillings in the future and allow teeth to naturally regenerate after damage or decay.

Research from King’s College London opens up new possibilities in dentistry, where missing or damaged teeth could be replaced with biologically grown teeth or their natural regeneration could be stimulated. Although the technology is still in the experimental stage, it represents a promising future for patients seeking more natural and permanent solutions to dental problems.

What does this mean for our patients?
