Drills are canceled - will be treated with the laser cavities

US scientists have developed a technique of laser treatment caries, by means of which the tooth is actually self-healing. Wherein the need to use a drill that is so feared by many, almost reduced to zero.

Caries treatment

Scientists from National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, Maryland found that laser beams are able to stimulate the self-healing tooth carious. Intense exposure to laser light "awakens" stem cells, which begins production of dentin - mineralized tissue of the tooth. This helps seal the holes without using drills and fillings.

It is noteworthy that this activation process self-healing takes only a five-minute-session, absolutely painless and has no side effects. In this way, caries treatment . which today is a rather tedious and sometimes very painful process in the future may become a pleasant trifle.

However, American scientists have tested their laser technique treatment caries   yet in rats and permit US authorities on clinical trials in humans have not yet received, but it is only a matter of time. At first the researchers did a small holes in the teeth of rats, and then They affect these teeth using low laser power for five minutes.

After 12 weeks in the affected teeth was gone by hole - formed a new dentin. Further studies have shown that laser beam activates a chemical in the mouth, which is "awakens" the stem cells deep inside the teeth. It is one of them and formed dentin. (READ MORE)
