Ms. Wang, 59, suffers from severe dental diseases and has had many teeth pulled out. By chance, she took part in a new drug experiment. After taking the medicine for half a year, the alveolar bone at the upper right of Ms. Wang actually grew 2 mm, and the gingival bleeding disappeared, and the teeth that had to be pulled out were saved. ?
At present, this new drug has entered the second phase of clinical trials, and it has been put on the agenda for the public.
Of course, the invention of this drug is of great benefit to the people, especially those with teeth problems and the elderly with loose teeth. After all, dentures and fillings are not as long as their own teeth.
Say? Toothache is not a disease, but it hurts to death? Only people who have had toothache can feel the trouble caused by dental problems. My own teeth are not very healthy, because they are sensitive and sore, and I can't chew hard things. Last year, because one tooth had wormholes and cracks, it was impossible to pull it out, which caused the tooth next to it to be a little loose, and the use function was greatly affected. Even melon seeds can't be knocked there.
But you can't continue to extract teeth, or you will pass one tooth after another, even if you can't keep one tooth. If this drug that can regenerate teeth can really enter the market, it can really solve many people's troubles.
However, today's dental implants are not cheap, and there are tens of thousands of them. This medicine that can grow teeth will definitely not be cheaper than dental implants, and most people can't afford it. The price of a tooth growing back is enough to change a car without buying a suite.
One or two teeth can still be preserved and put together. If you are old, it is unrealistic to spend too much money on your teeth at once.
So it is really good news that teeth can regenerate, but there is still a long way to go from ordinary people. Maybe when the technology is advanced enough, its price will be more close to the people.
