So this is what science consists of now, just the same "discoveries" being rediscovered over and over again for decades without anything actually being done with them. I literally can't even remember how many years I've been hearing claims of scientists "discovering" how to grow new teeth or "discovering" how rapamycin extends maximum lifespan (it doesn't).

That's the entire problem with modern """science""" though. The actual "studies" aren't any better than the pop sci rag articles. We're literally not advancing anymore.

I don't understand, why not just charge a premium for fixing your teeth? why would that be less profitable?

Why do we need this? What's wrong with mercury amalgam or gold filings? I thought the whole point of fillings was they had found a mixture of metals that had the exact same hardness and properties as natural teeth so the replacement would get along with the rest of your teeth and could stay in your mouth for the rest of your life.

>> No.11535547

Except none of the things currently used for fillings are actually 100% effective nor are they without issue. The whole point of innovation is to polish up and improve on existing concepts.

25, and because the research in OPs pic is nowhere near ready for mainstream use. And in the future if it ever developed to be a cost effective treatment, it would just become another treatment option for dentists to provide.

I mentioned that before, it doesn't really seem like it would be much different from standard fillings, other than they won't fall out and will look natural.
Do you think other types of regenerative medicine are unlikely in the same way? I know those have more evidence, but it is mostly with fingertips or damaged skin.

No idea about the regeneration in other fields. Also you'd be surprised how natural composite fillings can look when done properly

Couldn't say without an X ray and a history. You need to do a risk benefit analysis ie are your wisdom teeth giving you enough grief for you to expose yourself to surgery that potentially could cause damage to the nerve that lots of wisdom teeth lie close to

It matters for front teeth. It'll mean an end to veneers, which are necessary because dentists can't really make a seamless transition,between white fillings and enamel.

already done in 2009, they initially started the research with the goal to improve quality of life for those with missing teeth, stop the use of expensive dental implants etc, but reached the conclusion that the procedure will be very expensive and the people who need it most are least likely to able to afford it kek
