A tiny ultrasound device could help people regrow teeth?

What do you guys think of this? Do you think it holds any real promise?

Notice that the claim is healing root defects. I have no knowledge of
this kind of technology, but there are other methods already in use for
similar purposes--a mineral slurry known as MTA. It works--sometimes.
There is work being done with stem cells and (re)generation of entire
tooth organs. This doesn't sound like particularly high-priority use of
stem-cell therapy, but apparently there is something about stem cells
and embryonic tooth organs that makes this a promising area to dig into
using stem cells.

I think us pros in this group would be much more enthusiastic if more people
would brush more, floss more, eat better, and quit smoking.

Absolutely, but there are genetic components that brushing and flossing
simply won't overcome.

That is true, but these are things that you as an individual can change.
Can't change the genetics.....yet. Genetics is only one factor in the
dynamic.

Too boring! Ever wonder why so many of our instruments (impression
syringes, curing lights, etc.) look like guns?
Good to see you posting again!

Good one!!! Too bad it doesn't work. However, sometimes getting the bill
does. :)

Do like most around these parts do. Patient pays before being seated.
And I don't mean just the dentists.
