isnt that why naHp DOES already in a dental setting/implant, but there hasnt been definitive studies where its conclusive with OTC usage, eventhough there are tons of nahp products out there already from 5-10% with extremely questionable concentration and efficacy as manufactors, often from asia, dont tell thier process of making the toothpastes, and the true concentrations(Davids hide thier ingredients and process so be warned, also it tends to be highly abrasive). i have used some, i noticed most of them are just whitening toothpaste(hence the placebo effect), or overly saturated mint.
Hopefully in the right place.
How long until the dental restoration industry lobbies it out to be banned, so they can keep selling their photoshop jobs of people smiling with new teeth alongside crowns and implants, all at an inflated price?
It already happens with nano-hydroxyapatite pastes. In Europe you find them at the supermarket for 5 euro, in USA you need a prescription and it’s sold for $$$
Side effects: sharp fangs and uncontrollable drooling.
Win win
Hell yeah. I’m gonna overuse this shit and just have 2 gigantic teeth. One on the top and one on the bottom. No more flossing for me. Fuse those bad boys together. I’ll have the smile of an N64 game character.
Gotta get that cartoon chin as well.
if you’re gonna get chin work, make sure you have a butt chin (with a smaller, extendable butt implant installed in the cleft)
Currently sitting in an Uber relying on autocorrect to spell for me. I don’t want to belly laugh and make my driver think I’m a crazy person fuk u
gimmie
Can they make one to generate beaver enamel? I will accept the red color if I can chew through a tree.
beaver have a different composition, its made of iron compounds, i dont think human mouths are adapted to have iron teeth, it might damage your other teeth, because iron is much harder than calcium hydroxyapatite.
there are times i think about getting titanium caps, but my one crown does not feel great and i don’t like how mouthpieces feel
“Dental enamel has a unique structure, which gives enamel its remarkable properties that protect our teeth throughout life against physical, chemical, and thermal insults,” said lead author Dr. Abshar Hasan
This man doesn’t just disapprove of people mistreating their teeth, he is personally insulted by it. A true dentist.
I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.
Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.
I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.
It’s almost as bad being married to someone that works in that field.
My wife is a dental hygienist. Some of the horrific shit she sends me would turn your stomach. And then the experiences she’s had working on teeth… Just so so gross. 🤮🤮
My wife is also a dental hygienist, and she has never once sent me any horrific shit…. So I don’t think that’s a trait necessarily tied to the occupation, lol
Lucky. Can I get her number so I can have her talk to my wife? Haha
J/k lmao
Most dentists recommending eating at least 3 poop.
I feel like that should have maybe been a red flag while dating.
But I made this wonderful scarf!
Exploding abscesses… Ugh
Got a photo one time when we were dating… was hoping for tits. Nope tooth root and all. It fell out when she cleaned the years of solidified shit off it.
Granted she was in public health in a poor poor poor community but still. Gross.
Oh, man, that reminds me of one time when I cracked a tooth and couldn’t get in to see the dentist for a while. Cleaning the whatever out of the inside was so gross in smell, taste, and feeeeel, and so incredibly painful.
But will it allow us to create new body armors, is what I want to know.
Hard is usually opposed to strong. It doesn’t take much force to break a tooth—ive done it!
You could just regrow þe armor “within weeks”.
Simply line yourself with the teeth of your enemies (if they flossed regularly)
Hmmm maybe þe stench of þe rotting teeþ of your enemies who had poor dental hygiene would be a more effective deterrent?
If þey didn’t have poor hygiene, why were þey your enemies?
Body Armors… Wait how do you intend on taking the teeth armor off?
Coke and Skittles, duh.
Why would you want to?
1/10 dentists disagree with this guy.
The researchers used extracted human molars as an ex vivo model, first etching their enamel or dentine surfaces with acid to mimic different stages of tooth erosion. They then applied a single coating of the biomimetic elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) gel and let it dry. Finally, the teeth were immersed in carefully controlled mineralization baths that replicated the ionic environment of saliva.
Keep in mind this hasn’t been shown to actually help teeth in someone’s mouth.
My guess is that they can slowly regrow lost enamel under fillings, slowly build back up later by layer until a filling is no longer needed. What would be amazing is a cure for gum disease.
Just from that, it seems like its a patch job, not capable of regrowing from zero.
To be fair, the research is on regenerating, not regrowing. I wouldn’t expect regrowing lost teeth to be possible any time soon, unless some kind of bio 3D-printing method became available.
i wouldn’t expect that from a gel
I definitely saw lots of ads on AliExpress for gels that would regrow your teeth before their algorithm realized I wasn’t there for that.
Finally, my dream of making teeth anywhere you can imagine could be realized.
Teeth growing inside tumors is already a thing. Just grow some tumors.
those would be abnormal though, the genetics behind the tumor is probably not like a normal chromosomes(partial deletions, extra copies,etc). odontomas, and teratomas produces it but they are abnormal teeth.
Imagine if teeth were like antlers where they emerge covered in skin that’s ripped off every year
if only you were a crocodile or shark, they replace thier teeth all the time.
FINALLY vaginadentata won’t just be a pipe dream.
🎵 Vagina Dentata, what a wonderful phrase! 🎵
I hate all three of you lol
(take my hate upvotes)
I’ve heard of stuff like this for well over a decade. Seems like there’s a new article about teeth regrowth every month, either enamel or full teeth. Still waiting on real results.
It’s the new new battery tech!
But batteries consistently improve year on year, we just keep increasing the demand of our devices in lockstep because 10% more powerful! markets much better than 10% more battery life.
We have had massive improvements in batteries so that bodes well!
Battery tech is the new fusion, just 10 years away!
It’s a subject that targets people’s deep-seated insecurities. Everybody wants a tooth that can regenerate when they first discover a cavity for themselves.
With enamel regrowing constantly after the smallest scratch, cavities cannot get to where they form.
This hokum story is promising no more cavities ever.
The teeth regrowth thing was only two years ago.
https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physiology/articles/10.3389/fphys.2014.00036/full
It’s been in the works for over ten years. Here is a paper on research into it from 2014.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3000521/
Here’s another one from 2010.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1882761608000070#cesec60
And another from 2008.
At this point it’s a race between teeth, fusion and GTA 6. Place your bets, people.
I bet GTA 6, if only because those investors are going to be more bloodthirsty about it coming out eventually.
Teeth and fusion need approval to be safe from the…government…
I withdraw my bet.
thats how research works unfortunately
Absolutely, which was my point. That the tooth thing wasn’t “only two years ago” it’s actually been in the research and development process for probably over 15 years at this point, with a long way to go.
The slow roll on this is disappointing. Bad teeth majorly impact quality and length of life.
Not to mention the escalating costs.It’s a half trillion dollar industry, which is over $1500/year per American. And that’s not counting dental surgery, orthodontics, etc.
I fully believe most dentists would rather kill the inventor of whoever lets us regrow teeth for cheap than let it come to the light of day
Change my mind.
The only way this sees the market is if it is nerfed to require reapplication every six months.
Dentists make a lot more money off of major repairs and general maintenance than they do by replacing teeth entirely.
Oral surgeons on the other hand do make money off major repairs to damaged teeth or teeth replacements. I know people often call anyone who works on teeth a dentist, but technically they are different professions.
implants are a niche industry though, not related to general dentistry, its considered cosmetic. so its very EXPENSIVE for implants, per tooth can be thousands(3-6k or more) they would have to go toa cosmetic dentist if they want “replacement teeth, aka implants”. I only ever went to an oral surgeon for bottom wisdom tooth extraction.
plus there is one that is orifacial, which works on the jaw/ teeth, if you have a severe prognathism or overbite/underbit they can consider surgery combined with some dental procedures beforehand. i have prognathism but i never got surgery for it, wish i did when i was younger.
Huh? If you could regrow a teeth with a simple solution then they would not make money off of anything except pulling them out, and prescribing luxury bone juice.
I sure af would not waste money fixing teeth I could just regrow, especially if it can regrow in place as this article suggests without the awkward missing tooth phase.
It would be like rotors on cars. Nobody resurfaces them anymore - they just replace because replacing has become so cheap that there is no point.
But you do replace your brake pads before the wear out completely instead of just letting them grind your rotors, right?
Most dentist visits are like oil changes and vehicle checks to make sure things aren’t going to fail catastrophically.
You would be surprised how many people already don’t maintain their teeth and they aren’t replaceable yet for non ferrets.
It would be really incredible if they can manage to make this an OTC offering. This is huge.
After reading that article, this feels like something that I would want a trained professional to oversee.
No, I shall grow myself an enamel tusk!
or have beaver teeth, made of iron compound instead of calcium.
Someone will 100% create two big uniteeth.
I kind of wanted to make a Tiktok series that was how many days of brushing my teeth with nano hydroxyapatite calcium powder will it take until they are two solid Uni teeth like a cartoon?
Because if it’s really the same thing as what teeth are made of, how does it know where the end of the enamel is? Shouldn’t your teeth keep adding mass?
Maybe similar to fluoride, there can be a low-concentration version OTC, with the strong professional version only being available directly.
When I can access it, I’ll be happy.
I’ve heard about something like this back in 90s for the first time. I guess we won’t see anything ever. Big tooth won’t allow it 😂
