New Dental science

Thursday, June 29, 2006Ultrasound Based Device To Regrow TeethFiled under: DentistryRegrow Teeth.jpgIs there anything ultrasound can't do? Now our neighbors to the north (O'Canada) have devised a way of regenerating bone growth by using the stimulating powers of ultrasound. Now their beloved hockey stars won't have to hide their broken, toothless smiles. They will, however, have to wait somewhere between 6 months and forever to receive the new treatment.Snaggle-toothed hockey players and sugar lovers may soon rejoice as Canadian scientists said they have created the first device able to re-grow teeth and bones.The researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton filed patents earlier this month in the United States for the tool based on low-intensity pulsed ultrasound technology after testing it on a dozen dental patients in Canada."Right now, we plan to use it to fix fractured or diseased teeth, as well as asymmetric jawbones, but it may also help hockey players or children who had their tooth knocked out," Jie Chen, an engineering professor and nano-circuit design expert, told AFP.Chen helped create the tiny ultrasound machine that gently massages gums and stimulates tooth growth from the root once inserted into a person's mouth, mounted on braces or a removable plastic crown.The wireless device, smaller than a pea, must be activated for 20 minutes each day for four months to stimulate growth, he said.It can also stimulate jawbone growth to fix a person's crooked smile and may eventually allow people to grow taller by stimulating bone growth, Chen said.LoveMartin
