Teeth from stem cells

The tooth develops into the jaw to deviate to a vessel stem cells and grafted the meat naturally.

At Columbia University, USA, has developed a new technique to produce dental implants. This is to divert the path of stem cells into a three-dimensional mold that allows cell development, located in the jaw, right in the gap where a tooth is missing, so that in nine weeks the tooth has finished growing.

This new technology could revolutionize the world of implants because, when considered as a more expensive than traditional deployments, many people will opt for it and unleash your marketing.

The advantage that can be generated by this new procedure is that it may develop new teeth perfectly conformed to the hollow anatomical containing them. Especially since traditional implants, although visual fix the issue and allow the patient to chew, they fail to fully settle into the jaw.

The experiment, led by Jeremy Mao, the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory at Columbia University, demonstrated through experimentation with rats that stem cells can be directed to the specific hollow containing the mold, which is manufactured natural materials and is perfectly integrated into the fabric of the jaw.

When the tooth starts to grow is grafted onto the skin naturally, with a perfection that could not be achieved with tools. (With information from Journal of Dental Research)
