Default Progress in regenerating tooth decay
I also had a discussion last week with a company that says a small trial of 10 people had their receding gums repaired with their own stem cells. The treatment was successful in all 10. I am all for anything that will make a visit to the dentist more pleasant.

Good news from the dental research community: scientists "have
developed a revolutionary new way to treat the first signs of tooth
decay. Their solution is to arm dentists with a peptide-based fluid
that is literally painted onto the tooth's surface. The peptide
technology is based on knowledge of how the tooth forms in the first
place and stimulates regeneration of the tooth defect. ... This may
sound too good to be true, but we are essentially helping acid-damaged
teeth to regenerate themselves. It is a totally natural non-surgical
repair process and is entirely pain-free too. ... It contains a
peptide known as P 11-4 that -- under certain conditions - will
assemble together into fibres. In practice, this means that when
applied to the tooth, the fluid seeps into the micro-pores caused by
acid attack and then spontaneously forms a gel. This gel then provides
a 'scaffold' or framework that attracts calcium and regenerates the
tooth's mineral from within, providing a natural and pain-free repair.
The technique was recently taken out of the laboratory and tested on a
small group of adults whose dentist had spotted the initial signs of
tooth decay. The results from this small trial have shown that P 11-4
can indeed reverse the damage and regenerate the tooth tissue. ... If
these results can be repeated on a larger patient group, then I have
no doubt whatsoever that in two to three years time this technique
will be available for dentists to use in their daily practice."
