How often do you visit the dentist? With what feelings you are going to his office? I will say to yourself - the sound of a drill makes me shock and awe at the same time. However, in the future, dentists will be able to put his instrument. As reported journal ACS Nano new peptide in the gel or a thin soft film, placed directly into the cavity of the tooth, causing the regeneration of bone cells within the a tooth for a month. This technology is the first of its kind.
new gel help get rid of the need to make filling and drilling into the root channels of the affected tooth. "It's not toothpaste" - says Nadia Benkirane-Jessel Fellow Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale and co-author of the recently released research on this topic. "In fact, We tried to control caries even after he had developed. "
Drilling teeth and installing seals it safely and effectively. Dentists treat millions dental patients worldwide each year. However, although the doctors and make an injection of pain medication, most of us cringe at the sound of a drill. New research help make the trip to the dentist more pleasant. Instead of picking a sore tooth, the doctor just to cause a gel in the problem area and the gel is, in turn, will treat the tooth from within.
Caries - a very common disease, which can cause discomfort, pain and even tooth loss. When a person eats acidic, consumes a lot of sweets or do not comply with the elementary oral hygiene, bacteria begin to destroy the enamel (the hard tissue the human body - slightly inferior in hardness to diamond) and other minerals inside the tooth.
reasons caries can be much, but the solution is practically always the same - drilling into the tooth, removing the decomposition products and sealing cavity to prevent further damage.
Gel containing peptide is also known as MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) promotes bone regeneration. And because the teeth and bones are similar, French scientists have decided to try use it for teeth. To test their theory, they fought the gel on the teeth of a gray mouse bolevshey caries. After some months of problem areas virtually disappeared.
Benkirane-Jessel warns that the gel is just treats tooth decay, but does not prevent it. People still have to brush your teeth with a brush and paste and flossing.
«Dentistry without cavity preparation drill has its benefits" - says Hom-Lay Wang, a dentist from Michigan University. Caries and drilling could destroy the nerves and blood canals inside the tooth, making it more brittle and fragile. Restoring teeth to help avoid Installation of crowns. However, such treatment of a tooth from the inside is not possible in all cases. In advanced cases will have to continue to drill and fill.
Between so still need to spend a lot of experiments for several years before the MSH-Gel will be available to patients.
