COLLEGEVILLE Russell Westbrook Thunder Jersey , WILLIAMSPORT AND PHILADELPHIA, PA - As a Collegeville, PA periodontist and dental implants specialist, Dr. David DiGiallorenzo sees the effects of tooth decay on patients' smiles day in and day out.
So when he recently learned about a gel being tested that can grow healthy new tissue in decayed teeth, he was cautiously optimistic.
"This could be a godsend," said DiGiallorenzo. "The idea of having a tool at our disposal to restore teeth to their healthy state is exciting."
The Daily Mail UK published news of this gel in July. The gel contains melanocyte-stimulating hormone- or MSH- and is being developed by scientists in France Paul George Kids Jersey , the article stated.
Researchers reported that in lab studies, decayed teeth were restored to their healthy, original state in four weeks. MSH was mixed with poly-L-glutamic acid in the studies. This is a chemical often used to transport drugs inside the body because it can withstand harsh environments such as the stomach that could destroy medicines before they get a chance to work.
Scientists performed the testing on dental pulp fibroblasts taken from extracted human teeth, as well as on mice with dental cavities, the Mail UK article stated.
The idea to test this came from evidence that MSH promotes bone generation and since teeth and bone are similar in structure, scientists with the National Institute for Health and Medical Research in Paris decided to determine whether MSH could stimulate growth in teeth Carmelo Anthony Kids Jersey , according to the article. The American Chemical Society journal published the study's findings.
"Having this as a treatment option possibly could help alleviate the dental fears that so many patients experience," said the Collegeville, PA dental implants expert, adding that it likely won't be available to the public for another three to five years. "Taking away the need for needles and drills and replacing it with a painless treatment that potentially offers a permanent solution to tooth decay is exciting."
Professor Damien Walmsley, the scientific advisor for the British Dental Association, said although the gel could be an interesting new development Russell Westbrook Kids Jersey , it is unlikely to repair teeth that suffer from extensive damage caused by decay.
"Early detection will be imperative in ensuring that this new gel works, should it ever reach the public," said DiGiallorenzo, a Collegeville, PA periodontics expert.
Scientists also have developed a tongue gel for battling bad breath and preventing tooth decay. This treatment was developed by Meridol and consists of a tongue scraper, gel and mouth wash.
Tooth decay is caused by plaque Paul George Youth Jersey , a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth, according to the American Dental Association. The bacteria in plaque feed off of drinks and foods that have sugars and starches in them, and produce acids that damage tooth enamel over time. The sticky consistency of the plaque keeps the acids in contact with the teeth. Given enough time, the acids can break down the tooth enamel, causing a cavity to form.
Tooth Decay Statistics MSH has the potential to improve American oral and dental health statistics, DiGiallorenzo said. Between 2001 and 2004 Carmelo Anthony Youth Jersey , the most current data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 27 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 64 had untreated tooth decay. About 30 percent of children between ages 6 and 19, and almost 20 percent of children between ages 2 and 5 suffered from untreated tooth decay.
