Dinții pierduți ar putea fi crescuți din nou: Oamenii de știință pregătesc 'plombe vii' și înlocuitori biologici pentru implanturi

Researchers are developing technologies that could revolutionize dentistry, allowing for self-repairing cavities and biologically grown teeth. Current treatments are not yet ready for human use, but experiments have shown promising results in creating dental tissues. Techniques like 'living fillings' aim to regenerate enamel and dentin using stem cells. Additionally, efforts to grow human-like teeth from a mix of human and pig cells have shown potential. These advancements could provide more natural solutions compared to traditional implants, which lack nerve sensitivity. However, further research is needed before these treatments can be applied to patients.
