- Scientists at the University of Washington are taking stem cell research to a new level. They're working to regenerate something people often take for granted: our teeth.
A multidisciplinary group of researchers from UW have unlocked the first steps toward regenerating teeth.
Researchers are sharing their findings at the lab affiliated with UW Medicine's Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine.
What appeared to be just a dark blob under a microscope, has the potential to restore human teeth, according to their research. Known as "organoids," they are the 3D, cellular forms that mimic the organs in our body, including teeth.

I will pay any amount of money for this if it actually works. I was savaged by a drill happy dentist when I was a kid/teen and have spent my entire life mutilated by excessive fillings and crowns. I have to go through all this pain and expense just to restore what was taken from me... It's psychologically horrible to deal with. People who are victimized by terrible dentists have no recourse. Hopefully this comes out within the decade.
Same here. Agreed
@@justincreasingheight curious to know...
the dental industry is corrupt. Glad this is something that's making process and gaining traction. Would love to see the day many people who were taken advantage of by the dental industry given another chance with this tech.
yes dentists ruined my jaw and all teeth i'm 21
"the dental industry is corrupt."
I wonder if that is why it's taking forever for them to bring their products to market.
Paul Sharp at King's College is on this, and he was also on Tideglusib, which was 15 years ago. Never came out with any product.
The last time I emailed him 3 years ago he said he was still looking for financing.
What's going on? Why is this taking forever?
@@MochaHibiscus Sorry that happened to you. You're not the only one that has had some bad luck with your teeth. I feel for you. I'm in same boat and losing all my teeth.
@@MrK-wu7ci ive been thinking of contacting Paul. I think he's work is promising, and he seems like an honest and intelligent man.
Did you find any other promising solutions?
Did you hear the thing being worked on in Japan?
Yes dentists ruined my teeth too. I learned to never trust ANYTHING a dentist says without doing a lot of research first. Lesson 1: Never let a dentist remove material from your tooth.
I had already learned that lesson, and last time they removed material, they said they wouldn’t remove any material. So before they say “you need to remove material” and we accept. Now I don’t accept removing material anymore. So they say: "This won't remove ANY tooth material". Lo and behold, they removed material. I suffer the permanent consequences of allowing this every day. So there is your Lesson 2: NEVER trust what a dentist say without research first. Because they will LIE to put their hands on your tooth and ruin them.
That would be the greatest blessing for humans.
I'm headed to get my teeth pulled today, and get dentures....at 35 years old. Kinda feel like I'm losing a bit of myself. Hope one day I can have some sort of option to get away from dentures....seeing how implants cost tens of thousands. I just want to smile again :/
Inchala 🙏
Really want teeth regeneration to be a thing. I hope recent news isn't click bait.
No joke, @George. Don't think you are the only one. I have dental issues now, as I have gotten older. So, I sure hope that they can regrow enamel too. Hopefully, it will be Science to the rescue in the next few years. It's just too easy to have some type of dental issue (for me, it's grinding teeth), and I've wore down my enamel. It sucks.
@@nl5076 Well, thank you for providing a well-researched answer. But, I do have to probably agree with you that "more help" (like I want) is pretty far out. Yet, once Science goes down a certain path, some discoveries can occur or breakthroughs, so I'm not going to lose hope. Just (like you said) it's going to take time for the improvements to the current techniques and then the proving of it for the FDA's approval process, so it's not tomorrow's solution. But, I just wish Science / Dentistry could discover things faster and bring that change into practice faster.
@@PoeLemic why dont you use teeth whitening solutions ?
Is it bad to use teeth whitening solutions ? @@nl5076
we don't need teeth restoration because some of us had lost some of our teeth already..........we want self regeneration
Where can we find a dentist who practices stem cell dentistry?
Im going crazy trying to find some . There’s a video called Septodont Polska and there are 5 speakers teaching the latest just 2 months ago on regenerative dental treatments especially vital pulp therapy and for adults as well.
Dr Jeremy Mao --now at Columbia U -- is a dental researcher who obtained patents for his revolutionary method to use cold laser to stimulate the stem cells in our gums . He also developed a bio-scaffolding . Together these allow tooth regeneration in only 9 weeks !!! Perhaps we ought to contact him and inquire about human trials . He has held the patent for over a decade now. Why would anyone who spent their life developing such a technology not want to see it in dentists' offices ???
when will available ???
That will just piss dentist off but I’m all for it.
ok, ok...
@@pangeaproxima3681 what? You want to be a dentist? 😂
Who cares! Good dentists should be researching it to make money off actually getting to the root of the problem instead of pulling people’s roots!
it can regrowth enamel and change the tooth structure like veneers ?
This research combined with other countries tech in teeth regeneration. I am 62 with a few teeth left and they are partial teeth about12 to 15. I have a couple spots with broken off/ chipped/ nearly gown. Can I be a test subject please contact the researchers please
So when are they going to release a product?
I’m a healthy 78 year old woman. I had beautiful teeth all my life, aside from some cavities and 3 years ago my teeth started to loosen and fall out! No reason my dentist knew of. No one else in family either. I’m horrified.
You should have taken a vitamin deficiency test to find out what you may be low on. I would assume calcium.
are u serious you are 78
i am 30 and i lost 6 molars hhhhhh
Lots of people brush there teeth every day and they get cavities washing your hair every day with shampoo will not save you from hair loss
Don't worry, @Winifred. It happens to all of us. I'm in my 50s, and I'm starting to have more dental problems than before. It's just so agitating, but hopefully, Science can solve it.
Antibiotics are correlated with tooth loss
What if we "over regenerate" making teeth grow too long?
How long will it take before this is available to everyone? It's nice that researchers are finally
Making strides in dentistry, but making the remedy available to everyone now or ASAP is what we need.
Unfortunately its going to be 5-10 years at the least, and thats if they can even get it figured out. Wish it was sooner.
They have it figured out, just remember how much $ they lose if it comes out
There is no money in cures. I first read about the possibility of using stem cells to possibly regrow teeth back in the late '90s. I wouldn't hold your breath while you wait.
so are they saying they can regrow the whole tooth or just repair damage on a tooth?
Both it sounds like.
Yes please
science much do a few steps faster..........people can't wait anymore............we don't want to do implant because it so expensive and not real...........hope that teeth can be regenerated in the future...........regeneration not restoration
Implants are better than dentures. Those are the only 2 choices for people right now.
I am interested can taoists regeneration teeth from healing tao mantak chia
WISH THIS WAS NOW. MY SON HAS NO CONFIDENCE ANYMORE DOESN'T WANT TO GO OUT ANYMORE . PLEASE.. I WILL PRAY PRAY THAT YOU FIND THIS MIRACLE NOW. 🙏 THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP YOU'S FINANCIALLY FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT TO A QUICKER RECOVERY TO THE RE-GROWTH OF YOUR OWN TEETH. GOD BLESS LET THIS BE SO WITH GODS HELP. TO BY PASS THIS PROTEIN. GOD BLESS YOU'S ALL IN YOUR WORK. WE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU'S ALL. 🙏
HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL IT REACHES US?
Amazing news wow really hope it becomes a reality with little to no side effects.
NEVER EVER DO CAPPING IN YOUR FRONT TEETHS IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE...YOUR NATURAL TOOTH ARE BEST WETHER LARGE OR SLANT....
Bhai dentist ne mere front sabhi teeth par cap kardi bhai kya kya dikat hogi mujhe please btado
Dentist ne mere front par lagwa diye bhai
Kya kya issue aaiega please btado
So dentures will be the cheap option soon.
Where can i get this?
You can't
@@oneslackr why not?
@@NinoMaluri : Why do you think? Because it's still being researched & not available yet & probably never will be available because there isn't any money in cures.
I first read about the possibility of maybe being able to use stem cells to regrow teeth back in the late '90s. Here it is 25+ years later & it's still not available. Don't hold your breath while you wait.
Tooth enamel is formed entirely in the bones of the jaws before tooth eruption.
I had braces for 8 years because of an old school orthodontist... nice guy but had no clue the repercussions of what he did... some of my roots are small AND i got low enamel now since reminilerzation to teeth didn't really work all to well with brackets on them for over 8 years... this would be dope.
You had braces for 8 years? Is that why your roots are small? I had to get braces twice which in total add up to 4 years but that's awful 8 years. I have enamel issues as well and rinse with Hawaiian Spirulina which helps remineralize and just ordered micro Hydroxyapatite toothpaste which I heard aids in this as well. Good luck
Yeah, @Mike. Don't think you are the only one. I have dental issues now, as I have gotten older. So, I sure hope that they can regrow enamel too. Hopefully, it will be Science to the rescue in the next few years.
@@RobertBrown876 thank you I will check it out!
I brush my teeth with just water after flossing and using tooth picks. Sometimes I swish some baking soda in my mouth and then brush gently with a soft tooth brush. When I feel that a cavity is forming, after brushing when I go to bed I put a piece of cheddar cheese in my mouth and let it release calcium phosphate. When I go to dentist and they do the x-ray she finds no cavity. Putting Cheddar cheese in the mouth helps with rebuilding the enamel. Try this. This will help with your teeth. I Do not use any toothpaste.
Wow I will try that I heard this already somewhere
When this treatment is available??????????
Today
@@sir6979 Which country this treatment available
Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I'm not really sure if you guys are joking. So I'll ask the same question and I'll believe whatever answer I would get xD when this would be available? 😅
@@averybadduelist162 after no nut november
These treatments are not going to be available for at LEAST 5-10 years guys. They are closer but still far away.
If clinical trials on humans needs volunteers I am in for it 🙏 at 33 my teeth enamel is already so damaged and my teeth have become so sensitive 🥺 I am praying that this kind of research will be successfully working within the next ten years, so I have a chance to fix my teeth “naturally”
Nice teeth at last tg
humans dont grow enamal only once. (its twice, including baby teath)
Nonsense. Lots of documented cases of cavities healing. Theobromine will also do the same.
Well, dentist might have misspoke, but you know he meant that it just wouldn't regrow. That was the point.
thank you einstein
I am ready to pay any price. If you want, take my kidney but give me natural teeth.😭😭😭
Been waiting since 2008 :[
This never gone happen
It will happen for sure.
@@andreic1755 how many yrs it will take
@@swapnab4896 in 50 year I am pretty sure they will, maybe faster.
Keep waiting. I first read about possibly using stem cells to regrow teeth in the late '90s. As the saying goes there isn't any money in cures.
This treatment is decades away from being available
Elephant have conveyor belt teeth😅
You will never hear from them again. The world pays them to shut down. That how it goes every single time
Vitamin K2, daily, job done
For how long ?
You always make vitamin k2 in your gut from good bacteria you want.
@@dianamart1994 I'm unsure of the duration exactly, but a book I read mentions about glands in the mouth which secrete K2
screw enamel, how about regrowing all the lost teeth!
Did you listen to this? They ARE working on this as well.
Any update for teeth regrowing full mouth
Lol or you could brush and floss your teeth
shut up
As Maui put it shark head !
They need to study animal can regrow there teeth very well
That’s the problem is there is too much money in just masking the problem not getting the root of it by natural healing. Definitely nature holds the answers. No way a koala or other animals can regrow and a human can’t.
Please, if you find anything new, please let me know
Any update😢
As someone living with HIV I hope one day I can cured thank doctors Pius Ozigbe❤❤😂😂😅😮
Yes, I hope they do find the way to fix the dental problems through gene-engineering or stem cell treatments. Because I have life-time disease too, which is aging and getting older too quickly. But, maybe, Science will come to our rescue.
Please
Just cure the gum disaese
Why focus on researching regenerating tooth enamel when you could be exploring ways to regrow teeth? It seems a bit redundant and not the smartest approach.
The video mentions they want to eventually regrow entire teeth
@@pattersonbrewer4308 o, when the Japanese didn't roll out the whole regrowing teeth thing, they were still planning to market this regenerating tooth enamel gig. It kinda feels like they were keeping us in the dark, hoping to squeeze money out of us for a good while longer.
There's a Japanese company called Toregem Biopharma, that is supposed to start human trials next summer for a drug that regrows teeth. Not sure if this is the company you were referring to.
They should work on both. If you have a tooth that can be regenerated, that would be better and less painful and cheaper and faster than yanking it out and growing or implanting a new one.
But if youre already missing teeth, or have to get one extracted, then year, we need new ones.
