New teeth in adults. How to grow new teeth: dreams and reality

This article collects evidence of the regeneration of new teeth that has been leaked to the media, as well as a general description of the methods that various authors offer in order to restore extracted and diseased teeth.

Here are a few short headlines from materials that testify to this phenomenon.

“... Mikhail, yesterday I watched a TV report about a grandmother who, at the age of 70, discovered that her teeth began to change for the third time in her life ...”

“... In a neighboring village, a sorceress teaches people to build up enamel on damaged teeth by rinsing their mouth with a solution of propolis and mentally imagining ...”.

“... The doctors of the Drozhzhanovskaya district hospital could not believe their eyes when their ward Maria Efimovna Vasilyeva opened her mouth wide. Wow - a 104-year-old resident of the village of Chuvashskoye Drozhzhanoye began to grow teeth again!

“... A 94-year-old resident of Cheboksary, Darya Andreeva, began to cut new teeth. According to specialists from the Chuvash republican dental clinic, now the old woman has already erupted one tooth.

“... A resident of the Sharanglu settlement in the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan has grown new teeth to replace those that have fallen out from old age.”

“... Unexpected happiness came to Marya Andreevna Tsapovalova, who lives in the Rehabilitation Center for Pensioners in Sochi. At a hundred years old, she suddenly began to grow new teeth!

“…One of them is 128-year-old Iranian Bahram Ismaili. From old age, he lost only three teeth, and new ones grew in their place. Bahram also does not eat meat. Besides, he had never brushed his teeth in his life.

A similar incident happened to the Indian peasant Baldev. He grew new teeth at the age of 110. Baldev is a heavy smoker. He complains that he has long been accustomed to holding the pipe with his toothless mouth and now it is inconvenient for him to clamp it with his teeth.

“... 12-year-old French girl Michelle is a little unlucky in life. The fact is that the girl suffers from a rare hereditary disease. Michelle has grown shark teeth that constantly break and grow back. She has much more of them than ordinary people, and they grow in several rows. Michelle recently had 28 teeth pulled out. And still she has 31 more of them than it should be.

Quote from an article by Natalia Adnoral:

The first miracle: caries may not be. A similar phenomenon was observed by Italian dentists who visited several monasteries in Tibet. Of the 150 monks examined, 70% did not have a single diseased tooth, while the rest had extremely limited caries. What is the reason? Partly - in the characteristics of nutrition. The traditional menu of Tibetan monks includes barley cakes, yak butter, Tibetan tea; in summer, turnips, potatoes, carrots, a little rice are added, sugar and meat are excluded.

And if caries has already damaged teeth?

Miracle two: caries can be reversed. An example of this is the cases of caries self-healing observed by dentists, when the affected tissues become strong again, and the restored part of the tooth acquires a darker shade. And such cases are by no means isolated. How does this happen? Builder cells detect damage and restore the integrity of the tooth in the same sequence in which it was originally created.

But what if caries won, and there was nothing left of the tooth?

Then prosthetics, of course.

Miracle three: new teeth can grow. This is called the "third change of teeth" and is observed in people of a very advanced age. And although a person does not have the rudiments of the third generation of teeth, there are remnants of “forever young” tissues that suddenly, for reasons that are not entirely clear, remember their purpose to become teeth and successfully realize their potential. Similar reports have recently been not uncommon: a 110-year-old resident of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has grown two new teeth; new teeth began to be cut in a 94-year-old resident of Cheboksary and a 104-year-old woman from Tatarstan; as many as six teeth appeared in an 85-year-old Novgorodian ... Of course, sensations can be treated with skepticism. If only... not the latest discoveries of science.

Scientifically proven miracle. A group of scientists from the American Research Center in Texas, led by Dr. McDougal, studied special cells that produce dental tissues (enamel and dentin). The genes responsible for this production are active only during the period of tooth formation, and then turn off. The scientists managed to “turn on” these genes again and grow a full-fledged tooth (while “in vitro”, outside the body). True, it is not necessary to count on early changes in the practice of prosthetics. It will take at least 20 years for the wide dissemination of the technology of growing one's own teeth ... "

A few more studies voiced by the media:

Researchers at Osaka University are preparing for human clinical trials. According to scientists, this method is much cheaper than prosthetics, ITAR-TASS reports.

The treatment system is based on the effect of genes that activate the growth of fibroblasts. It is the main cellular form of connective tissue.

Its action was tested on a dog that had previously developed a severe form of periodontal disease - atrophy of the tissues around the teeth, leading to their loss. Then the affected areas were treated with a substance containing the mentioned genes and agar-agar, an acidic mixture that provides a nutrient medium for cell reproduction. Six weeks later, the dog's fangs erupted. The same effect was observed in a monkey with teeth hewn to the ground.

Today, Paul Sharp from King's College London is engaged in the cultivation of teeth, he also heads the most famous company in this direction - Odontis - at Guys Hospital in the same London. In addition, the Forsyth Institute in Boston, USA and Queen Mary's College in the English city of Hants are working in this direction. Of our scientists, a Poltava geneticist from the Center for Transplantation of Cryopreserved Embryonic, Cellular and Fetoplacental Tissues Alexander Baranovich is working in this direction.

A few quotes:

A revolutionary method of growing teeth has been developed in Ukraine. The author of the idea is Alexander Baranovich, a geneticist at the Poltava Center for Transplantation of Cryopreserved Embryonic, Cellular and Fetoplacental Tissues.

He is working on a unique technique by which edentulous people can renew their jaw with little or no prosthetics. To do this, in place of the fallen tooth, an injection of a liquid based on the stem cells of the fallen out children's milk teeth is made into the patient's gum. Once in the jaw bone tissue, the cells begin to multiply, and a new tooth grows in 3-4 months.

According to the scientist, similar experiments are being carried out in the West. So, the English doctor Paul Sharp is close to creating a genetic gel with which a new tooth can be strictly programmed exactly for the shape and size that his predecessor had.

A team of researchers from the University of Oregon (USA) after a long search found the gene responsible for the production of tooth enamel, which is so necessary for teeth. It is the inability of enamel to recover that leads to tooth decay in more than 8/10 of the world's population. It is quite possible that scientists will be able to force the found gene to restore enamel, covering vulnerabilities. Thus, caries and some other dental diseases can be avoided.

Scientists have named a new type of gene Ctip2 - it is interesting that it is responsible not only for the production of enamel, but also for some of the functions of our immunity, the development of the skin and the nervous system. Now it is possible to attribute the restoration of enamel to this list of duties of this gene.

Japanese scientists from the Hokkaido Medical University managed to develop a unique technology for dental treatment thanks to a special chemical composition invented, which is based on collagen and phosphophorin proteins.

During the experiment, doctors placed a loose protein mass in a caries-damaged tooth of an experimental dog. In just two months, complete restoration of the dentin was recorded. Dentin is the substance that makes up the backbone of the tooth.

Japanese scientists intend to start human trials as soon as possible, while the practical application of the discovery will be possible in five years.

Scientists have managed to create a technology that allows you to grow new teeth in place of those that have fallen out. The miniature system stimulates the formation of dental tissue with the help of pulses of ultrasound and helps to heal diseased teeth, Eurekalert reports.

A small wireless device sealed in a biomaterial casing will not cause any inconvenience to the patient. It is attached in the oral cavity in any convenient way, for example, on "brackets" or in a removable crown. Scientists have also developed a sensor that changes the power of the device so that the pulses always reach the roots of the teeth. The researchers hope to have a finished model of the device by next year.

The device is intended for patients with root resorption, which occurs from mechanical or chemical damage. Mechanical damage can be caused by wearing corrective braces for a long time. The new device will allow such people to wear "brackets" and not worry about anything. It is estimated that among this segment of the population (five million people wear braces in North America), sales of the device will amount to 1.4 million copies.

Initially, the technology was tested on rabbits. The device also allows for bone growth in the jaw, which will greatly help children with hemifacial microsomia, a disease in which one side of the child's jaw remains underdeveloped in relation to the other. It is usually treated with surgery.

All dental restoration techniques from various authors have several common points, which are listed below:

1. Mental teleportation in time. Researchers recommend in their imagination, or in meditation, to be transported to the age of 13-15 years, when all the milk teeth are already gone, and the molars are still healthy. As best you can imagine yourself in this time, perhaps using photographs. Recall as many exciting moments from this period of life as possible ...

2. Work with the energy-information field. The goal is to implant or transfer the “embryo” of a healthy tooth to the place you need. According to Mikhail Stolbov - giving the order to the tooth to grow. Subsequently - a constant mental visualization of beautiful, shiny, white teeth.

3. Daily, according to some methods, hourly maximum attention to the right place, constant stimulation (both physical and psychological), increased blood flow, gum massage with a toothbrush, jaw training.

Reader comments:

2 years ago, a wisdom tooth was pulled out, an x-ray was taken, the gum was empty. A year later, he began to grow a tooth in the same place. Now I have grown more than half of the tooth. When I'm done, I'll move on to the rest. There is no secret here, our ancestors had it in the order of things. I know another person who has grown a tooth.
You don’t even need a practitioner, just trust yourself and believe in the result. Great placebo =) And various practices exist for this, to set you on the right wave.
Stepan Rudakov

About 15 years ago, on the people (Yandex sites), there was a forum dedicated to this issue, military pensioners, with bad scans of photos of their extended teeth, shared their experience, though they had salt + electricity there, with small currents, they thus welded their teeth, I don’t remember about the fortress, but they were definitely whiter in color than their relatives.
Alexander Dvornikov

Below is an excerpt from ]]> the unfinished book ]]> by Mikhail Stolbov (the author died in an accident), where Mikhail shares his experience of growing 17 new teeth.

It all started in 1978, when I was serving my three years of military service on Russian Island. It was then and there that almost all of my teeth were knocked out with a stool. Then I terribly hoped that they would immediately commission me, but false teeth were made for me at state expense within a week, and for the remaining 2.5 years, because of my burr, I was “Mongrel” for everyone. Dentures are an unpleasant thing, but not fatal ... and they don’t get used to it.

Over the following years, I repeatedly changed these dental prostheses for new ones and already resigned myself to my fate, but some time ago I found myself “locked” in the Siberian taiga for almost a year. There I was overtaken by a disease, due to which I could not wear prostheses for more than 15-20 minutes a day. Any object and even my own language hurt me. Food had to be turned into porridge and swallowed without chewing. The process of eating turned into flour and dragged on for forty to sixty minutes. Besides, I couldn't talk! After all, teeth in commonwealth with the tongue are involved in the formation of sounds T, D, Z, N, R, C, C, H; and together with the lips in the formation of sounds V and F. Fortunately, at that time in the gatehouse near Razdolny I had no one to talk to ... But there was no one to save me either. I was very hurt and scared. This is what made me start looking for ways to GROW new teeth.

At the moment I have 17 (SEVENTEEN!!!) of my new teeth, which have grown contrary to all the statements of modern medicine. During this year, a lot of different events took place in the taiga, and I don’t know what specifically played a role in the occurrence of a miracle. Therefore, in my book I will try to carefully repeat the discoveries that I made in the taiga, and describe the actions that helped me become toothy again.

I will try to list them and list each one in sequence.
We change the worldview - we learn to believe in miracles
Quit smoking
Accumulate energy (lose excess weight)
Learn to listen to your body
Learn to listen to your soul
Learning to listen to the world
We grow teeth

A few letters:

“Hello Michael! Glad to have discovered your work on growing teeth on the internet. I have had all my teeth removed and recently discovered the growth of two new teeth. I can't explain the reason for this and so far I'm just watching the process ... I'm really looking forward to the end of your book. The teeth were completely removed a year and a half ago and these two teeth are growing IN NEW. I don’t have a serious methodology, with the exception of water charging and the “Chew-bite” exercise, and the formula “Where the thought goes, there is energy, where there is energy, there is blood.!
I'm 46 years old. Alexander".

“I grew two teeth. The essence of the results in motivation, at least for me it was. Initially, I just wanted to reanimate my teeth, in terms of aesthetics, but gradually I realized that they don’t react just like that. And it all started when the teeth became vital, they just began to fall out of the gums. Then the first results appeared. The pain was incredibly sharp, especially the first 2 days and when the gums broke through in some places. 2 teeth appeared, but not in place of the old ones, but nearby, though without curvature. In other words, the result is 2 new teeth and after six months of work there were no more results.»

“When my side tooth was pulled out, the front two teeth parted and a very wide and ugly gap turned out between them. Because of this, I was terribly worried and complexed. What was my surprise when, after some time, another tooth GROWN in this gap!!!”

“I would never have believed it! But, having found your articles on the net, I decided to try it, and three days ago I got a new tooth!!! I didn't understand anything at first! Something pricks the tongue and that's it. Yesterday I saw: crawling, infection!!!”

“Hi, Michael! I have one tooth with history. That is, I have had a cyst there for a long time, several years ago we intensively treated it. Today they took a picture, and it turned out that the bone tissue between the roots was restored, which, in principle, cannot be, as my dentist told me.

Forum quotes:

“Anatoly: I grew it purely consciously. He created a mental image of teeth where they no longer existed. In a couple of months, 4 beautiful white ones have grown, like snow. But our dentists are typical barbarians. They began to prove that this was an anomaly, that these were wisdom teeth (after 50 years old) and before I had time to come to my senses, all 4 of my handsome men were brutally removed without anesthesia. A second attempt to grow new ones did not lead to anything. The fact is that I went to these barbarians to put up a bridge and they "proved" to me that these teeth would not only interfere, but also harm. And faith in Soviet medicine was higher than faith in one's own abilities, that's it ... "http://magov.net/blog/135.html

“It so happened that I dragged on with dental treatment to the last, always believing that I could do it on my own, and even it seems to me that it worked out once - I mentally “scanned” the jaws imagining how strength appears in the teeth and blood flow increases, but somehow it’s not systemic . And suddenly something appeared in the place of a tooth pulled out in the army. I didn't know what to think. On the one hand, the army could not completely remove the tooth and it could be the remnant of the root; on the other hand, what appeared was absolutely smooth and neat (!!!) Then suddenly a spot appeared on its surface (it protruded by 1-2 mm), which quickly began to turn into caries. And then, because of another tooth, my cheek swelled up and I had to go to the clinic where the doctor pulled out this piece along with the damaged tooth. Naturally, no one paid attention to all my attempts to pay attention to the fact that it might not be a fragment (and I was good too - under the injection, and even panicked by visiting the clinic - I was not particularly persistent). In short, after that event, about 4 years have passed and I gave up (there is nothing to chew on).

“And this is what one acquaintance told me, a former Khalulaev resident (one of the former special forces elites in Primorye). Somehow he met a Buddhist monk in the taiga, he was looking for herbs. got acquainted. He said that it is possible to grow teeth, for this you need a special attitude (possibly meditation), a certain set of herbs, and most importantly, you need to be in the taiga for three months. Apparently in nature it is necessary (not for everyone who wants to go to the Primorsky or Siberian taiga). Herbs, I think, are needed to cleanse the body, nature - to gain energy, meditation - for pure thoughts, mood - for the growth of teeth. http://forum.anastasia.ru/topic_21135_30.html

The fact of tooth growth officially recognized by medicine in place of the removed one:

Research by scientists has long confirmed the fact that the regeneration of teeth in the animal world is quite possible, in particular, in alligators this process occurs as needed, that is, if a tooth is lost, a new one grows in its place. The same scientific studies claim that it is also possible for a person to have new teeth, an example of their creation from stem cells in mice speaks in favor of this fact. Based on the foregoing, is it possible to conclude that soon a person will no longer need filling and prosthetics? Of course, yes, it’s another matter that we are not talking about the near future, this is still a question of the future and not the closest.

Tooth regeneration technology

The regeneration technology is based on a combination of stem cells, support material and signaling molecules. In about 60 days, the process of growing a completely new and, most importantly, healthy tooth with real roots, dentin and pulp lasts.

At this point in time, high-quality implantation is unthinkable without bone structures that are in good condition, otherwise the installed prostheses simply will not hold securely. Therefore, the technology of growing teeth from stem cells, which does not depend on such a limitation, opens up great opportunities in terms of maintaining and improving human health. The only problem is that its cost will be very high, this is suggested by logic and a simple statement of the fact of the price level in the field of high-quality implantation and prosthetics. That is why we can talk about it only as a very distant future, so that the relevance of preserving what nature has given us is not removed from the agenda.

The structure of the human tooth

The process of formation of milk teeth begins very early, somewhere from 6–7 weeks of development, and the root system develops completely by the end of the 20th week. The composition of the tooth includes:

• enamel;
• pulp;
• dentine;
• dental cement.

Tooth enamel withstands maximum loads, it is the hardest element. Dentin is also distinguished by increased strength, in which there are a large number of tubules with cells that enable the full growth and development of teeth. The pulp is the focus of blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as nerve endings, while dental cement is a substance that is very similar in composition to bone tissue.

Achievements of scientists

Theoretically, the current situation can be called borderline in the sense that dentistry has come very close to the moment when the practice of growing new young elements instead of the lost ones is ready to take the place of theory. But there are several serious problems that prevent you from crossing this line and regrowing your teeth, in particular:

• the process of cell division is far from perfect, therefore, a full-fledged transformation into dental tissue does not occur;
• there is a rather high probability of rejection of a new tooth by the gum, an example is a similar situation that occurs periodically with implants;
• implantation of the tooth germ into the gum cannot serve as a 100% guarantee that the tooth will grow in the form and quality expected.

It is impossible to give an exact answer to the question of when such regeneration techniques will begin to give a qualitative result. There is an opinion in the professional environment that such a thing can be discussed no earlier than the 30s of this century.

Regeneration of teeth according to Petrov

Similar studies are being carried out in many countries, including Russia. The peculiarity of stem cells is that they work at the right time and then turn off, and forever. If we can find a way to turn these cells back on, then the problem of tooth regeneration will be successfully solved.

A detailed description of the technology of tooth regeneration is contained in the works of the Russian academician and Ph.D. Arkady Naumovich Petrov. It is based on the following aspects:

1. Mental teleportation of a person in time. We are talking about imagining yourself at the age when there was a change of milk teeth to permanent ones, while it is necessary to rely only on positive and pleasant memories.
2. Work with the information and energy field. In your mind, you should “grow” a tooth in the desired place or transfer it to it, give it a mental order to grow in the form you want.
3. Constant attention to the place where the tooth should grow. It is advisable to constantly stimulate the tooth physically and psychologically, increase blood flow, massage the gums, and perform constant jaw training.

Bolotov's method

Strictly speaking, the Bolotov method concerns not the regeneration of teeth, but their treatment, but as an alternative, it makes sense to consider it in more detail. The regeneration process is based on a combination of vodka tinctures, propolis and calamus. For 0.5 vodka, one calamus root is taken and crushed, propolis tincture is made at the rate of 20 grams per half liter.

The technique is based on the simultaneous use of both tinctures and involves the following course of action: one tablespoon of each tincture is mixed together and the resulting composition must be rinsed in the mouth for three minutes. It is not recommended to swallow this composition; rinsing should be performed either with the onset of pain or at bedtime. The duration of treatment is about a month, although the pain should go away 2–3 after the start of the procedure. Calamus acts as an analgesic, and propolis is necessary for filling holes in the teeth.

On a note: This procedure cannot be called regeneration, new teeth cannot be grown with its help, but pain sensations completely disappear and even roots that do not sit well in the gum become stronger.

How much does the procedure cost?

However, this procedure is unlikely to be used frequently, as it is expected to be quite expensive. If we compare the costs of dental implantation (financial, physical and time) with the costs of growing teeth, it is clear that the latter will require several times more costs.

As an example, let's take the cost of dental implantation of one tooth - 1000 euros, and the price of stem cell extraction alone - 1000 euros.

From the foregoing, the conclusion suggests itself that it is better to keep what you have than to think later how to fix all the losses.

Watch the video review of the patient 2 months after one-stage dental implantation at the Smile-at-Once Clinic. This is one example of how teeth can be restored without regeneration, but using modern techniques. In particular, implantation with immediate loading - all-on-4 (), all-on-6 (on six) or basal treatment protocol.

Taking care of your teeth from a young age is important for many reasons. The health of the body depends on their condition, and a beautiful smile opens up great opportunities for its owner. A person's teeth grow twice in a lifetime - in infancy, milk teeth come out, which gradually replace the molars.

By the age of 50, most people have lost 5 to 10 of their own teeth. The reason for the loss is illness, bad habits, improper hygiene, injuries. Missing teeth are compensated with dentures and implants. They can destroy bone tissue, fail. Modern dentistry is developing alternative technologies, and soon the cultivation of teeth may become a reality.

Practice for the regeneration of missing teeth

The experience of centenarians shows that the growth of new teeth in place of the lost ones is possible. The first such case was recorded in Sochi, where the growth of new teeth was noted in a hundred-year-old resident. It was incredible, the sensation attracted doctors and the public. The culprit of the event is sure that the growth of teeth was the result of a healthy lifestyle, vegetarianism and stress tolerance. Subsequently, other cases were recorded who succeeded in growing.

The sensations aroused the interest of dentists, genetic engineers in Russia, and supporters of mind control practices. Experts have proven that the renewal of the dentition is inherent in human nature. Teeth can be grown at any age - you just need to find the levers that can start the regeneration mechanism. There are several areas and practices in which specialists work:

• spiritual practices;
• introduction of stem cells;
• laser techniques;
• the influence of ultrasound;
• impact on genetic information.

Technology for influencing the subconscious at home

Proponents of spiritual practices believe that the power of thought will help grow new teeth. The active work of the consciousness will “wake up” the mechanism of regeneration. It is necessary to clearly convey the intention to the body, and not to doubt that self-healing is possible. Then a positive result will be achieved.

• visualize or recall the sensations that accompanied the exit of young teeth in childhood - itching in the gums, pushing out milk teeth by outgoing molars;
• it is desirable to start recovery from the lower incisors in the same sequence as they come out in babies;
• the subconscious must "work" in the direction of tooth regeneration for 24 hours;
• it is important to familiarize yourself with the method of growing new teeth, watch thematic videos several times.

We grow teeth according to Norbekov

According to the methodology, you should do special breathing exercises at home in the morning for a month. First 10 breaths from light to deep, and then vice versa. After that, you should concentrate your mind on updating the diseased tooth. It is necessary to imagine the gradual growth, development and change of a new tooth.

The secret of Norbekov's technique is in the respiratory program, which becomes the basis for changes at the cellular level. At night, you should focus on the area where you plan to grow the tooth. It is important to mentally connect the molecules in the problem area, forming a young organ out of them. You have to do this for two weeks. An indicator of effectiveness is a tingling in the zone of concentration.

Self-hypnosis before bed according to Shichko

Biologist Gennady Shichko offers a psychological and pedagogical method for the treatment of various pathological addictions. It was easily adapted for growing teeth. To achieve a result, the patient is required to lay in the subconscious the expectation of the eruption of new young units. The author is sure that in the process of going to sleep, in a half-asleep state, a person can correct the subconscious. In this he is helped by adjustments in the diary.

For teeth to grow, it is important:

• a clear intention to change the situation;
• mandatory auto-training and fixation of positive thoughts: “life is beautiful”, “I will get it”;
• keeping a diary with daily results (in the first person);
• rejection of any negativity and the use of the “no” particle;
• strict adherence to methodology.

Regeneration by Petrov's method

According to the technology of Petrov A.N. it is important to concentrate on the area where you need to grow a new tooth. It is recommended to turn to the bone marrow of one of the vertebral bodies and ask to teleport the stem cell to the border between the jaw and the location of the future tooth. Next, you should mentally imagine the image of the root of a new tooth, build a vital cell into its top.

The technique is based on the belief that cells and chromosomes are subject to human consciousness. Mentally, from one stem cell that got into the hologram of the root of the future tooth, the entire root should be “grown”, and then the crown. One cell divides, it turns out two, eight, and so on. When visualizing the root of a tooth, it must be remembered that incisors and molars have a different number of roots. The method will allow you to renew the entire jaw, to start growing new wisdom teeth.

Veretennikov's theory

Sergey Veretennikov recommends restoring teeth in the order in which they erupted. First, we grow the lower, upper, lateral incisors, small molars (first), canines, small molars (second) and large molars.

It takes 30 minutes for daily practice. It should be imagined that teeth resemble germinating seeds in fertile soil (gums). It is important to add to these thoughts the itching, warmth and swelling of soft tissues, other sensations that accompany eruption. The mental visualization step should take about 10 minutes.

In the next "ten minutes" it is important to concentrate as much as possible on your sensations in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe incisors of the lower jaw. Squeezing, slight itching will indicate the beginning of the regeneration process. The next step is to add concentration in the area of ​​the third eye. At the same time, mentally repeat that "my new teeth are growing, they are strong and healthy."

The practical course should be applied every day for 3 months. How long does it take to change young teeth? Everything is individual and depends on the strength of intention, the ability to feel the body. The main thing is not to be afraid to lose old sick units.

When will scientists learn to grow teeth?

Modern scientists do not deny the possibility of the appearance of a third dental shift in an adult. They substantiate the process as follows: cells remain in the place of the removed root units, which, under certain circumstances, can transform into a new tooth.

After much research, the conclusion was made: it is permissible to grow a new dentition at any age. It is only necessary to make changes in the genetic structure of a person.

Gene responsible for changing teeth in adults

Until the end, the consequences of intervention in the genome have not been studied. However, in the course of the study, scientists confirmed the possibility of changing genetic information in such a way that a new one grows in place of a pulled out molar. Probably, the method will not soon find wide application. However, scientists have now made some progress:

Working with stem cells

Genetic engineering does not rule out the possibility of growing teeth using stem cells. Certain techniques help to grow any organ and tissue from them. To grow teeth, technologies are used in which stem cells can be manipulated by molecular stimuli. This creates a unique cellular material with minimal risk of rejection. It is transplanted to the patient, after which the doctors have to observe how the third tooth grows on its own.

Research in the field of stem cells for growing teeth is carried out in the laboratories of the University of Massachusetts. Stem cells for the method are extracted from the bone marrow and gums. Their collection is an unpleasant and painful procedure, but scientists are working to improve the technique. Artificial teeth from stem cells in vitro are already a reality.

British scientists led by Paul Sharp have taken a step further. They are researching how to program a newly grown wisdom tooth to be a copy of a lost one.

Growth stimulation with ultrasound or laser

The effect of ultrasound when trying to grow young teeth is complex. The technique has been successfully tested on rabbits and will soon become one of the dental practices.

Laser tooth regeneration involves the sharing of stem cells. The technology was developed by specialists from Harvard. They stimulated stem cells with a low power laser beam. Now it remains for them to prove that the resulting cellular material can become the basis of future teeth. It is too early to judge the effectiveness of the technology, but the results are impressive.

Science and esotericism have stepped far in their discoveries. However, it will be a long time before scientists begin to grow dental tissue. In the meantime, prostheses and implants are available to people - expensive and not always comfortable dental structures. Not everyone can avoid prosthetics, but careful oral hygiene minimizes the risk of dental diseases and the complex treatment associated with them.

Milk teeth appear in a child in the first year of life, over time they are replaced by molars. After that, only dentures can appear in the mouth. No matter how modern and beautiful they are, they are no longer real teeth. It would be nice if, instead of extracted teeth, doctors could grow real ones! Is it possible?

Attempts to grow a person new healthy teeth have been made repeatedly. What came of it? What is the prospect of such a technique?

What genes are responsible for the growth and development of teeth?

A few years ago, a report flashed in the press that Japanese scientists were able to grow new teeth. Indeed, such work was carried out. In 2007, mice became the owners of artificially grown young teeth. Their teeth performed all the necessary functions, but did not have roots. Real indigenous people managed to grow only in 2009.

How is this possible? The gene responsible for the growth of teeth was found by scientists from Zurich. They also found a region of the chromosome responsible for the development and formation of the crown. It turned out that the rudiments from which teeth develop are formed during the operation of the Msx1 gene, and another gene, Osr2, is responsible for the correct position of the crown. Its function is very important. With its anomaly, teeth grow in unexpected places, have a strange shape. The development of teeth is determined by the functioning of a section of the chromosome called Notch.

Is it possible to grow new molars to replace those removed in adults?

Everyone knows that the cells of the human body are completely replaced after certain periods throughout life. Each type of cell takes a different time to update. Epithelial cells of the stomach are updated in 5 days, in bone tissue cells the process takes place within 10 years. Only the teeth, having begun to collapse, "bring the matter" to the end, and only the roots remain, which have to be removed in order to put the prosthesis (we recommend reading: how is the root of the tooth removed if only it remains?). Why is this happening? Why are the tissues of the coronal part not capable of regeneration?

Nobody has an answer yet. But the Japanese have learned to restore dentin in dogs by filling the carious cavity with a special biomass. It took 2 months to recover. Experiments in this direction are ongoing. Interesting results were also obtained in America: scientists learned how to stimulate the restoration of their own tissues in some animals with ultrasonic pulses. When will it be people's turn?

It seems that the appearance of the third generation of teeth in an adult is incredible. However, it happens that even without the use of special technologies, teeth can change. There are cases when the change occurred in people of very old age. A new generation of teeth, the third in a row, has grown in people who have celebrated or are approaching their centenary. Where did these teeth come from?

Chewing organs develop from the rudiments located in the gum tissues. Usually, in a baby, 2 sets of rudiments are formed at once: for milk teeth and for molars. However, even in the body of the elderly, cells of the rudiments are preserved, which can begin to develop when certain conditions occur. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is extremely rare, but modern medicine is working to stimulate the process artificially.

Innovative technologies

Theoretically, teeth can be grown at any age, even for people over 50 years old. It is possible to change the genetic information in order to activate the growth of a new tooth instead of the one pulled out. However, the side effects of such exposure are completely unpredictable, so such techniques have no chance of widespread use in the near future.

Ways to influence the gene responsible for the development of teeth, tested on dogs and gave good results. However, according to expert estimates, doctors will begin to carry out such procedures for people no earlier than in 20 years.

stem cells

A promising method of regeneration is the cultivation of new organs from stem cells. Stem cells, with the help of special stimuli, create a new tooth germ. Then the scientists place the resulting blank in the right place and wait. The organ develops independently, and the use of native stem cells eliminates the possibility of tissue rejection.

Separate units of teeth have learned to grow, but the difficulty lies in obtaining stem cells. This procedure is very painful. In addition, it was possible to grow a tooth only in laboratory conditions, and not in the human body.

Stem cell preparations are trying to be used to initiate the growth of teeth to replace lost ones. In parallel, work is underway to program the size and shape so that the resulting organ is identical to its predecessor.

Ultrasound

Ultrasonic pulses of low intensity are able to awaken regeneration processes in bone tissue. If they act on a diseased tooth, this can lead to its restoration. With the help of such an impact, you can even grow a new dental unit at the site of removal. The bone tissue of the gums also reacts to the impulses, starting to grow. This allows you to correct the underdevelopment of one of the jaws. Unfortunately, all these miraculous transformations so far only work well on rabbits.

Canadian scientists have developed an innovative device the size of a pea. Placing it on the gum helps to strengthen it. Ultrasonic radiation reaches the tooth root, and a deep massage produced by impulses promotes the speedy regeneration of tissues. Root restoration allows you to install prostheses and not worry about their strength and durability. An unexpected side effect of the exposure was the growth of a new tooth.

Laser exposure

There is an assumption that the regeneration of teeth will also occur under the action of a low-power laser beam. Irradiation of stem cells should lead to the formation of the germ and the growth of a new tooth. However, this technology is at the beginning of its development, has not been tested on humans, and it is too early to talk about its effectiveness.

Growing teeth instead of surgery and prosthetics is an old dream of mankind. Attempts to find ways to grow new teeth have been made repeatedly. The lack of medical technology has led to efforts to regenerate teeth with the power of thought.

Folk and shamanic methods of growing teeth at home

Not only scientists are trying to get teeth to replace the lost ones. This problem has been worrying mankind for a long time. Numerous sorcerers and traditional healers have repeatedly tried to develop methods that promote the regeneration of teeth. Fans of folk wisdom, various mental and spiritual practices are convinced that by the power of thought, by the awakening of internal forces, people are able to grow the second generation of molars. Popular techniques are presented in the video.

The method of self-healing teeth according to Norbekov

Mirzakarim Norbekov proposes to carry out the process of growing teeth by willpower on their own, at home. The essence of the practice of self-healing is the activation of cellular activity with the help of breathing exercises.

Breathing exercises are designed for a month. It is proposed to do them in the morning, starting with light breaths and ending with deeper ones - 10 times. Then the exercise is repeated in reverse order. According to Norbekov, after the end of gymnastics, attention should be focused on the area where the tooth should reappear. Before going to bed, you should also focus on this area, mentally imagining the association of cells and the process of formation and growth of the missing bone formation. After 2 weeks, a tingling sensation should appear in the selected area. It says that the process has gone in the right direction.

Self-hypnosis according to Shichko

In Russia, other home methods of restoring teeth by willpower are also known. One of them belongs to the biologist Shichko. Initially, the method was intended to rid patients of pathological addictions. The biologist is sure that when going to sleep, in a semi-conscious state, a person is able to correct his subconscious, giving him the right direction. The methodology is based on the following main provisions:

Stolbov's technique

Mikhail Stolbov also proposes to use a similar method, claiming that he managed to grow 17 teeth to replace the lost ones. He recommends:

• believe in the possibility of a miracle;
• save vital energy by giving up bad habits that waste it (smoking, drinking alcohol);
• for the same purpose, get rid of extra pounds;
• learn to listen to your body and soul;
• to grow teeth by the method of internal visualization, imagining the future result.

Veretennikov's technology

The practice developed by Sergei Veretennikov suggests growing new teeth in a natural sequence. He proposes to grow them, starting with the lower incisors and then in the order in which they grow in babies, up to the wisdom teeth. It takes half an hour a day to practice.

Veretennikov advises to imagine future teeth in the form of seeds that are in favorable conditions for germination, in the gums. With the help of auto-training, sensations of itching, a rush of blood, heat and swelling of the gum tissue should be caused in the relevant areas. This process should take 10 minutes. Then it is recommended to concentrate on the incisors of the lower jaw. Sensations of squeezing and itching will mean that the growth process has begun.

The last stage is concentration in the area of ​​the third eye. At the same time, it is necessary to inspire yourself that “my young teeth are growing, strong and white.” The process must take at least 3 months. It is also suitable for replacing diseased teeth with new and healthy ones, you just need not be afraid of losing old dental units.

Criticism

Most experts are skeptical about the fundamental possibility of growing new teeth for a person. It is impossible to predict the behavior of stem cells; there are no methods to control their development. We cannot exclude the possibility of mutations that will not lead to the result that was expected.

Shamanic methods and folk wisdom also do not give any guarantees. It is not necessary to count on the power of thought, in any case, only a dentist can provide the most reliable help in this problem.

On March 6, many countries celebrate International Dentist Day. The date was not chosen by chance. It was on this day, more than 100 years ago, that the first prototype of the well-known drill was created. Today, the possibilities of dentists have expanded significantly. And what seemed like a fantasy is now a reality. MedAboutMe joins the congratulations and will talk about the new possibilities of dentistry in the field of restoring lost teeth and enamel. Is it possible today to grow a “tooth in a test tube”?

Dentists are joking

One of the most famous jokes of dentists says: “Nature has given only two sets of free teeth. For the third - you have to pay! And, if now you have to fork out for plastic, ceramics and cold "metal", then new scientific achievements will soon make it possible to get natural teeth for money.

Dentists and patients have always been interested in the possibility of enamel regeneration without the use of Greenwood's most famous invention - a drill, that is, replacing lost teeth with new ones. And if earlier it was impossible, then today, like science fiction, it comes to life.

Does it follow that in the near future, human teeth, just like rodents, will constantly grow, the enamel will be restored, and the fallen ones can be replaced with their own, grown in a test tube?

"32 heroes": why can't there be more teeth?

Each person is given 2 sets of teeth during his life: 20 milk and 28-32 permanent. Such a number of teeth was formed in the process of evolution, and nature considered it sufficient for chewing food.

But many still have rudimentary third molars, better known as wisdom teeth. There are cases when "happy" patients were the owners of the fourth molars, and in total there were 33-36 teeth in the oral cavity.

The presence of third molars is not necessary, they are no longer involved in the process of chewing food. And in the course of an evolutionary change in eating habits, the appearance of heat treatment of food, the jaw has become smaller and there is no longer enough space for the full eruption of the third molars.

At the same time, more and more often you can see patients whose milk teeth have not changed at all and fully perform the functions of permanent ones.

According to many dentists, perhaps in a few centuries, the need for a change of teeth will disappear altogether. The timing of the eruption of milk teeth will shift, and the concept of "changeable bite" will cease to exist altogether.

Natalya Maikova, owner of 2 milk teeth, Arkhangelsk

The fact that I have a unique feature (not exactly unique, but rare) I learned when I was 19 years old. I had a very bad wisdom tooth, and I went to the dentist. Knowing that dentists are in no hurry to save the “eights”, because these teeth usually grow bad and deteriorate very quickly, I was already prepared to remove the tooth, by the way, filled earlier. But the dentist told me that I need to remove the old filling and “clean” the canals again. After all, losing a second molar at that age is very disappointing. I was surprised and taken aback. How so, the second molar, and not the third? And then she just counted her teeth. Exactly! 7 teeth on each side, but it turned out that out of 3 molars I have 1 milk one, on each side! Such a surprise! An adult, it turns out, has milk teeth. In my case, these are “fours” on the lower jaw. They took a picture of me, and I was very upset when the doctor did not see the rudiments of permanent teeth in the jaw. This means that if milk teeth fall out, new ones will not grow! We must protect them. But now 10 years have passed, and my milk teeth are still firmly seated in the jaw, and have not yet been subject to caries. My peculiarity does not interfere with my life in the least, and those around me do not suspect anything.

Shark teeth: lucky or not?

It is known that shark teeth grow in several rows, and their total number approaches 250. It is sharks who are envied by patients who have lost one or more teeth. But is it worth it? Sometimes, even in a person, supernumerary teeth may appear in the oral cavity, growing in several rows. But this fact, for the most part, is not a reason for pride and envy.

When laying the rudiments of teeth, even during pregnancy, failures can occur. And when permanent teeth erupt, extra ones appear: instead of the prescribed 4 premolars - 8, instead of 4 incisors - 6 or more. Extra teeth, that is, in excess of the main set, are called supernumerary.

Their appearance is not uncommon. And until recently, the exact reasons for their formation were not known. But in June 2017, the true reason for the formation of extra teeth was presented to the scientific world.

Scientists from the University of Texas, USA found that when the FAM20B gene was removed, supernumerary teeth developed. By itself, this gene is responsible for the formation of cartilage tissue. But in experimental mice, its “switching off” led to increased enamel mineralization and the growth of extra teeth.

Lead researcher Dr. Xyophang Wang said: “The presence of such teeth for dental health and bite is not good. But understanding the process of their formation is important. After all, this knowledge can be used to regenerate teeth and, of course, to prevent the appearance of supernumerary ones. At the moment, scientists have received a large grant and continue their research.

In 2014, The Times of India published an article about a group of surgeons who removed 80 teeth from the jaw of a 7-year-old boy! A small patient asked for help for a completely different reason. After the study, an odontoma was discovered - a tumor that occurs due to a violation of the development and formation of dental tissues. The operation itself lasted about 4 hours.

The leading surgeon, Dr. Ankit Hasgivala, noted that in this age group, such tumors are rarely diagnosed, and if a patient whose name remained a secret asked for help after a few years, then there could be about 200 supernumerary teeth. There is a known case when 17 year-old teenager from India had more than 230 teeth removed.

A 32-year-old young man from Saudi Arabia came to the ENT with complaints of constant nasal congestion and bleeding without cause. During the study, an erupted supernumerary tooth was found in the nasal cavity. This unique case became known in August 2014.

Unique cases

Stories about unique cases are circulating on the Internet: “I have grown another tooth”, “After the extraction of a tooth, I used a unique remedy, and, oh, a miracle, I have grown a new tooth!”. What's this? The fantasy of the authors, unique cases, or is it still a hoax?

It’s worth starting with the fact that not a single product sold on the Internet and in a pharmacy, be it “magic pills, powder or gel”, can stimulate the growth of teeth and even enamel. If even during intrauterine development there was a laying of 28 rudiments of permanent teeth, so many of them will erupt. The only exception is wisdom teeth, the laying of the rudiments of which begins at the age of 5-9 years. And, even if there are rudiments, their appearance in the oral cavity is not necessary.

If, due to some circumstances, there was a failure in this process, and instead of 28 rudiments 29-36 appeared, then in the future there may be “surprises”. Often, supernumerary teeth are impacted, that is, they are deeply “settled” in the jaw and are in the wrong position, pressed down by the root of the “twin tooth”.

If a permanent tooth has been lost or removed, this process stimulates the eruption of the impacted tooth. As a result, one fine morning, the stunned patient notices another eruption in place of the extracted tooth. This is how legends are born.

Knocked out a tooth - does not mean forever

"Spolt is a ring" is one of the most famous demotivators on the Internet. And, usually, these phrases belong to hockey players. Indeed, a coward does not play hockey. Often athletes are let down by "protection" - and injuries occur, and knocked out teeth are no exception.

Dentists assure: a completely knocked out tooth (complete dislocation) does not mean its irretrievable loss, and with the correct and clear algorithm of actions, it can be safely returned to its place. This operation is called reimplantation. It is possible due to the ability of periodontal tissues to recover and form new bonds. But to be successful, you need to act fast.

After the injury, and if the tooth was completely knocked out, provided that the root of the tooth was not damaged and remained intact, the patient has 72 hours to contact the dental surgeon and perform the operation. And the sooner it is carried out, the better the future forecasts.

After a complete dislocation of the tooth, it must be carefully examined: assess the integrity of the root, the presence of cracks and place it in a nutrient medium. It is reliably known that the most optimal storage medium is the saliva of the patient himself or saline.

There are conflicting opinions about other nutrient media such as water and milk. Most authors agree that these environments negatively affect the condition of the knocked out tooth and the subsequent outcome of the reimplantation operation. But if there was no other option at hand, you can use them.

The success of the operation will depend on the correct storage of the tooth, the choice of a nutrient medium and timely access to the dentist.

Already in the dentist's office, under the influence of local anesthesia, the hole is processed and the tooth is implanted in its place. To fix it in its place, dentists use the splinting method, for a period of 3 weeks or more. At this time, the doctor controls the healing processes and makes a forecast for further treatment tactics.

Subsequently, the tooth must undergo endodontic treatment - removal of the tooth pulp with root canal filling.

Grow a "tooth in a test tube": expectation and reality

The possibility of regenerating one's own teeth has always been of concern to dentists. And, if earlier attempts to grow “teeth in a test tube” were unsuccessful, today such an opportunity has appeared. The mechanism that made it possible to achieve results is simple, like everything ingenious - a full-fledged organ can be formed from one cell.

Russian scientists have extracted cells from the tooth germ of a donor mouse and transplanted into another animal. As a result, it was possible to grow a full-fledged tooth in 2 weeks, while the mouse did not experience any discomfort and suffering.

Igor Malyshev, Head of the Department of Pathophysiology at Moscow State Medical University, notes: “The teeth themselves are an inexhaustible source of stem cells, and, perhaps, in the near future there will be a need to create appropriate storage banks. In the future, if a tooth is lost, patients will be able to restore defects with their own biological material. And dentists will have a unique opportunity to regenerate lost teeth.”

Fact!

MedAboutMe reminds that the dental pulp can serve as a source of stem cells. Recent studies have shown that there are cells in the pulp of wisdom teeth that can become the precursors of most cells in the body. In addition, each tooth has a so-called growth zone - by extracting cells from this area, modern dentists can already grow full-fledged teeth.

Research scientists are also focused on the possibility of restoring teeth using 3D printing technologies. At the moment, the data obtained is not enough to make such statements. But, as scientists predict, in a few years this industry will turn all ideas about the process of prosthetics and implantation.

Russian scientists suggest that in a few decades, the reimplantation of a "test-tube tooth" will become as common a procedure in the dentist's office as prosthetics.

With the development of new prosthetic technologies, a 3D printer is widely introduced into dentistry. Today, "printing" a part of a tooth - a crown or an inlay to restore lost enamel and dentin - is a reality. But, as they say, there is no limit to perfection.

Scientists from the Netherlands have created an antibacterial polymer that can be used to "print" teeth that improve the microflora of the oral cavity. This polymer is planned to be used in the creation of crowns and subsequent prosthetics on implants.

The uniqueness of the polymer lies in the inclusion of quaternary ammonium salts in its composition, capable of destroying bacterial biofilms. According to study author Andreas Hermann, "the material destroys bacteria, but it is absolutely safe for human cells."

In support of his words, data were given: printed artificial teeth made of polymer were placed in a mixture of saliva and bacteria that cause caries. After 6 days, it was found that 99% of the dangerous bacteria had died in the medium. And in the control samples, where the polymer was not used, the dead bacteria were less than 1%.

At the moment, scientists are working on the introduction of ammonium salts into oral hygiene products and are evaluating how durable the material is and whether it can fully withstand the chewing load.

According to US scientists, this discovery is very important and will significantly reduce the risk of implantation complications and the formation of peri-implantitis. In the United States, treating bacterial damage to installed implants costs patients and dentists millions of dollars.

Can enamel be restored?

Recently, there has been a general fashion for miracle remedies that save you from all troubles and misfortunes: a remedy that gets rid of excess weight in 3 days, an anti-wrinkle cream that restores youth in a few seconds, and drugs that restore enamel and treat caries, moreover, to the dentist there is absolutely no need to rush.

As proof of the properties of "miracle remedies", photos are given: "before" and "after". Moreover, the picture is striking: if earlier the teeth were crooked, yellow and affected by caries, then after using the products they meet all the standards of a Hollywood smile. As dentists sarcastically remark, such products are really “unique”: not only do they restore enamel, treat caries, they also change the shape of teeth and correct bite. Their real effectiveness is nothing more than a marketing ploy and a simple deception.

Meanwhile, there are really effective remedies that will help restore enamel, but from which you should not expect fantastic results. Remineralizing toothpastes, gels and varnishes used in the dentist's chair are able to restore the enamel structure and treat caries. But! The remedies will be effective only for caries in the stain stage, when the pathological process develops within the surface layer of the enamel, and nothing else! In addition, such pastes do not affect the activity of bacteria, therefore, even if this focus has been eliminated, there is no guarantee that it will not reappear.

In this case, it is possible to restore enamel by replenishing the lost minerals from the crystal lattice and increasing resistance to aggressive agents of the oral cavity. Typically, such products are used in dentist chairs and are characterized by an increased concentration of active substances. Mistakes in their use can cause more harm than good.

Calcium hydroxyapatite is the main substance of enamel. And the mineral created in the laboratory has long been successfully used in dentistry to create therapeutic toothpastes for sensitive teeth, or in the dentist's chair to solve various problems. At the moment, the technology for its production is complex and requires large financial costs.

A team of chemists from the Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N. I. Lobachevsky developed a new one-stage technology for the production of artificial nanohydroskapatite. According to the plans of scientists, the material is planned to be used not only to restore lost enamel, but also in the manufacture of implants and the elimination of skin defects.

The main advantage of the created mineral is improved biocompatibility, the ability to control the biological and mechanical properties of the material. It is planned that he will gain popularity in the field of prosthetics, restorative dentistry and implantology.
