How technology is changing orthodontics

Editor — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:03:50 +0000

Changes in orthodontics due to advances in technology means it’s now more necessary than ever for orthodontists to take a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. By Rob Johnson According to Professor Qingsong (Adam) Ye, the internationally distinguished orthodontist, educator and most recently Noel Martin Visiting Chair at the University of Sydney School of Dentistry, orthodontics is […]

A team of researchers from China have assessed the potential applications of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and their derivatives in the field of nerve regeneration. Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) seriously affects people’s quality of life. Stem cell therapy is considered a promising new option for the clinical treatment of PNI. Dental stem cells, particularly […]

‘Living fillings’ could restore enamel, study finds

Editor — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 00:24:52 +0000

US scientists have created enamel-growing organoids which could help to restore and regrow damaged teeth. The multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Washington, Seattle, created organoids from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, publishing their findings in Developmental Cell. “This is a critical first step to our long-term goal to […]

Study shows ‘positive stress’ boosts tooth tissue regeneration

Editor — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 00:08:15 +0000

Stress is typically thought of as a negative phenomenon, but researchers in Hong Kong have found ‘positive stress’ can induce good changes in tooth stem cells to make them more resistant to injury and disease. The study—published online in the Journal of Dental Research—is the first to show that adaptive mechanisms in tooth stem cells induced […]

Researchers inch closer to developing biological dental enamel

Editor — Tue, 03 May 2022 00:26:19 +0000

To this day, cavities and damage to enamel are repaired by dentists with the help of synthetic white filling materials. There is no natural alternative to this. But a new 3D model with human dental stem cells could change this in the future, according to researchers in Belgium. There is relatively little known about human […]

Dental stem cells can generate milk-producing cells

Editor — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 23:17:48 +0000

Dental epithelial stem cells from mice can generate mammary ducts and even milk-producing cells when transplanted into mammary glands, according to a Swiss study. This could be used for post-surgery tissue regeneration in breast cancer patients. The ability of adult stem cells to generate various tissue-specific cell populations is of great interest in the medical […]

Regrowing dental tissue with stem cells from baby teeth

Editor — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:10:23 +0000

In a clinical trial conducted by a team of researchers from the US and China, stem cells extracted from children’s baby teeth were used to regrow the living tissue in teeth damaged by injury. Around half of children suffer some injury to a tooth during childhood. When that trauma affects an immature permanent tooth, it […]
