Grow your own teeth

[witchy1]

Do you know that scientists at the University of Alberta, successfully proved that we CAN grow our own teeth with the simple application of ultrasound. Just a few months ago I was reading the the wave strength and length of the specification and didnt save it........now of course its missing! and in its place is all the stem cell stuff. The device is called LIPUS, which stands for “low-intensity pulsed ultrasound". The engineers are Dr Jie Chen from the Faculty of Engineering. Its wireless and they were developing a really small version to stick in your mouth some how, as the original prototype was large and used outside the mouth. But it worked.

This occured in 2002 - 2006

It appears that the type of wave used has been buried. Someone said you can get them on EBay, but doubt that are at the right frequency.

(Now, they are saying that we can grow our own teeth, by stem cells implants, and of couse this technology is a long way off.)

This device could be the biggest breakthrough in dentistry ever. And now it appears lost forever! Not pharma based either. (yes I know the USS issues) I have sent them an email, but of course no response. Grrrr

Has anyone heard anything more about this??
Thanks in anticipation

WOW Witchy , great find.. I love these non- pharma breakthrough stories...surprise surprise that they are claiming the specifications weren't saved, i somehow doubt that,
preventive health is not part of their agenda.

I have a GP that works in nutritional and mind/body medicine, hes fanatastic and always exploring new modalities especially with light and sound, ( im going to send him these links) . He uses bio-feedback technologies for brain related issues, it works a treat. There are people out there still fighting the good fight, against big pharma , you just have to dig a little to find them.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did hear a report about that a few months ago, but not surprisingly, the story evaporated. Must be the dentist's lobby (lol, but i would not be surprised). Just another GBPTB ( stealing this from zoo, but adding greedy). The story has to be out there somewhere.

[onawah]

I would imagine that discoveries like this are being reserved for the elite, so are probably not lost, just hidden, like so much else...

That's weird, I clicked on my link and it opened. There is another link in that article about growing your own teeth with stem cells.

Here's a copy/paste of the stem cell article- the other article is about a plasma blow torch that could be used to clean teeth ( probably not relevant)
*******************************

Human molar scaffolding Dr. Jeremy Mao has unveiled a technique that directs the body's stem cells into a scaffolding that will aid in the regeneration of a new tooth. Columbia University Medical Center
The loss of a tooth is a minor deformity and a major pain. Although dental implants are available, the healing process can take months on end, and implants that fail to align with the ever-growing jawbone tend to fall out. If only adult teeth could be regenerated, right?

According to a study published in the latest Journal of Dental Research, a new tissue regeneration technique may allow people to simply regrow a new set of pearly whites.

Dr. Jeremy Mao, the Edward V. Zegarelli Professor of Dental Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, has unveiled a growth factor-infused, three-dimensional scaffold with the potential to regenerate an anatomically correct tooth in just nine weeks from implantation. By using a procedure developed in the university's Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory, Dr. Mao can direct the body's own stem cells toward the scaffold, which is made of natural materials. Once the stem cells have colonized the scaffold, a tooth can grow in the socket and then merge with the surrounding tissue.

Dr. Mao's technique not only eliminates the need to grow teeth in a Petri dish, but it is the first to achieve regeneration of anatomically correct teeth by using the body's own resources. Factor in the faster recovery time and the comparatively natural process of regrowth (as opposed to implantation), and you have a massively appealing dental treatment.

Columbia University has already filed patent applications in regard to the technology and is seeking associates to aid in its commercialization. In the meantime, Dr. Mao is considering the best approach for applying his technique to cost-effective clinical therapies.

The ADA are a pile of twisting snakes, just like the AMA. They tell us that our teeth cannot be re-mineralized, that fluoride is good, that mercury is like candy, that we need toothpaste, to use mouthwash that kill good bacteria, that we need them. All mis-truths.

The great dentist Dr. Weston Price taught us that prevention is as easy as pie. He also wrote the bible on nutrition and it's effects on the body.

Reader's Digest once conducted a study to determine how effective dentists were. They sent a man with perfect dental health across the country, visiting 50 different dentists. Ready for this? He got 50 different opinions! Only one dentist told him that he did not need anything done to his teeth. One honest man out of 50. Amazing.

[witchy1]

Hiya Conk, Im hearing you! my teeth were butchered at primary school. I am sure the dental nurse drilled for the sake of drilling. (plus my party trick was opening beer bottles with my side teeth - paying for that now) I still cant find the specs for the ultra sound wave strength........frustrating

[str8thinker]

Thanks Witchy for starting this interesting thread. There seem to be plenty of articles on the web about this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound

And even a mouthwash:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1036890/Revolutionary-filling-preventing-mouthwash-replace-toothbrush-just-years.html

My advice would be to ask your dentist next time you visit him/her what the status of this invention is. Many don't stand the test of time as even faster or safer technologies replace them.

As you can see from the Wikipedia article, LIPUS can be used for more than just teeth. The article includes links to original medical papers. Ultrasound in stimulating growth is far from new. Like acupuncture, I think it definitely has a place, but it will take some time before its optimum niche is determined.

[witchy1]

Hi Str8thinker, yes thanks for all the links, and have read all of that.

My issue is that lipus has gone from being a hand held object applied 20 mins a day with a new tooth in a couple on months to one that fits inside the mouth (patent pending) and pulsed at regular intervals - making so much easier.....to now - who ever it is has got hold of it - progressed to a whizz bang nano thing to the whole stem cell outside grown tooth then implanted to an inside grown stem cell tooth no doubt at huge cost when its finally released.

it looks to me like all they have done is in effect to stop the release of this much needed basic ultra sound device. people dont care if you have to hold it outside, or if its just little, to inside the mouth. The point is, its not on the market and should have been a couple of years ago when it was ready..........they can do all the high tech stuff later, but of course if they release it now - who would want to use the stem cell stuff.

I think they need to get the stock standard uss out to the masses. That little uss device would not have been that expensive to make. Its such a huge issue for people who dont have time to wait or the money to even go to a dentist.

if I could find the original specs, i could go hunting for a similar devise and just use it.

Addit: my teeth arnt that bad, I just want to use it to grow a new tooth thats irritating me.

[Ki's]

greets witchy1...I read an article about that several months ago and if memory serves, the research and results were coming from Japan (maybe China) But it was being conducted in an Asian country.
Hope that helps the search.

[SkepticSoul]

Does anyone know what pulse rate and frequency LUPIS uses? I might give it a try, just need to buy a ultrasound device that fits in your mouth xP

Ultrasound May Help Regrow Teeth

ScienceDaily (June 28, 2006) — Hockey players, rejoice! A team of University of Alberta researchers has created technology to regrow teeth - the first time scientists have been able to reform human dental tissue.

Using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), Dr. Tarak El-Bialy from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and Drs. Jie Chen and Ying Tsui from the Faculty of Engineering have created a miniaturized system-on-a-chip that offers a non-invasive and novel way to stimulate jaw growth and dental tissue healing.

"It's very exciting because we have shown the results and actually have something you can touch and feel that will impact the health of people in Canada and throughout the world," said Chen, who works out of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the National Institute for Nanotechnology.

The wireless design of the ultrasound transducer means the miniscule device will be able to fit comfortably inside a patient's mouth while packed in biocompatible materials. The unit will be easily mounted on an orthodontic or "braces" bracket or even a plastic removable crown. The team also designed an energy sensor that will ensure the LIPUS power is reaching the target area of the teeth roots within the bone. TEC Edmonton, the U of A's exclusive tech transfer service provider, filed the first patent recently in the U.S. Currently, the research team is finishing the system-on-a-chip and hopes to complete the miniaturized device by next year.

"If the root is broken, it can now be fixed," said El-Bialy. "And because we can regrow the teeth root, a patient could have his own tooth rather than foreign objects in his mouth."

The device is aimed at those experiencing dental root resorption, a common effect of mechanical or chemical injury to dental tissue caused by diseases and endocrine disturbances. Mechanical injury from wearing orthodontic braces causes progressive root resorption, limiting the duration that braces can be worn. This new device will work to counteract the destructive process while allowing for the continued wearing of corrective braces. With approximately five million people in North America presently wearing orthodontic braces, the market size for the device would be 1.4 million users.

In a true tale of interdisciplinary work, El-Bialy met Chen at the U of A's new staff orientation. After hearing about Chen's expertise in nanoscale circuit design and nano-biotechnology, El-Bialy explained his own research and asked if Chen might be able to help produce a tiny ultrasound device to fit in a patient's mouth. The two collaborated and eventually along with Tsui received a grant from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council's "Idea to Innovation," program to expand on their prototype.

El-Bialy first discovered new dental tissue was being formed after using ultrasound on rabbits. In one study, published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, El-Bialy used ultrasound on one rabbit incisor and left the other incisor alone. After seeing the surprising positive results, he moved on to humans and found similar results. He has also shown that LIPUS can improve jaw growth in cases with hemifacial microsomia, a congenital syndrome where one side of the child's jaw or face is underdeveloped compared to the other normal side. These patients usually undergo many surgeries to improve their facial appearance. This work on human patients was presented at the World Federation of Orthodontics in Paris, September 2005.

"After proving it worked, we looked at creating a smaller ultrasound carrier where we can take the patient out as a variable," said El-Bialy. "Before this, a patient would have to hold the ultrasound for 20 minutes a day for a year and that is a lot to ask."

The researchers are currently working on turning their prototype into a market-ready model and expect the device to be ready for the public within next two years.

What is it ???...these sites are very weird !

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1036890/Revolutionary-filling-preventing-mouthwash-replace-toothbrush-just-years.html
Ultrasound could 're-grow' broken teeth in just 12 weeks

In a separate development, scientists revealed recently that teeth broken in an accident could soon be 'regrown' using an ultrasound machine half the size of a thumbnail.
The process could take just 12 weeks. Ultrasound is already used to help heal broken bones, now the technology is being applied to teeth.
Nanotechnology, which can reduce electronic circuitry to one thousandth of the size of a human hair, has enabled scientists to develop an ultrasound device small enough to fit inside the mouth.
A wafer-thin ultrasound chip, which is preprogrammed so that it turns on automatically, can be clipped onto the teeth. When it is on, ultrasound waves massage the gums to stimulate and increase blood flow to produce new tooth tissue.
The treatment takes just 20 minutes a day. The current version of the machine has a small handheld device which tells the patient when it is working.
Dr Tarek El-Bialy, of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, discovered the use of ultrasound to form new dental tissue from his research on rabbit incisors. He then moved on to humans and found similar results.

[Richard]

LIPUS has been used since early 1980s, mainly for bone-fracture healing and to heal other tissue, such as tendons and skin ulcers. Dr. El-Bialy first discovered that ultrasound can stimulate dental tissue formation in rabbits in 1999, when he cut the lower jaw to lengthen it and applied LIPUS to help bone formation at the surgical cut site. The rabbit teeth start to grow faster on the treated side than on the non-treated side. He published the results of this experiment in the American Journal of Orthodontics.

Following his research on the animal model, Dr. El-Bialy started working on human teeth that undergo shortening (resorption) in people who wear orthodontic braces. He found LIPUS can prevent this shortening from happening by a daily 20-minute application over four weeks.

The handheld device used in the above research was cumbersome, however. So, over the last few years, his team has been developing a refined prototype that can be used inside the mouth. The miniaturized device is now undergoing electronic and biological testing, and a completed version should be ready to start clinical trials by November 2008.

[witchy1]

Thanks Richard and MariaDine this is the first of the prototype I have seen...dinky wee thing it is. I wonder if its a patent pending thing thats causing the delay in production. I did send an email to Dr El-Bialy at the university of alberta in edmondon canada re the release date and purchase avenues- but no reply. He was part of a team of 3 who discovered the effects of ultra sound on teeth.

I would really like to know where this product is now. Someone said they are selling on ebay (but odds on, it will be the wrong pulse rate or Hz thingy) so not risking it.

Skepticsoul, you dont need a small one, they originally did it apply a larger one on the outside of the mouth (ie on the face) I have read the actual strength of the ultrasound somewhere but of course its now mia. I will keep up the search tho

Thanks everyone

[xbusymom]

I am very interested in this also...

the dentist that I went to in my early 20's said I had an overproduction of gum-tissue and conned me into getting it cut off and cauterized... so now I have all of my front teeth rotting at the root and falling out-

I will even offer myself as a lab rat... 20 minutes just before bedtime is not too much to ask if it means I can get my teeth back...

[jeannacav]

Hi,
To start I found some info from wiki...


"Typical diagnostic sonographic scanners operate in the frequency range of 1 to 18 megahertz, though frequencies up to 50-100 megahertz has been used experimentally in a technique known as biomicroscopy in special regions, such as the anterior chamber of eye.[citation needed] The above frequencies are hundreds of times greater than the limit of human hearing, which is typically accepted as 20 kilohertz. The choice of frequency is a trade-off between spatial resolution of the image and imaging depth: lower frequencies produce less resolution but image deeper into the body."

and

"Superficial structures such as muscles, tendons, testes, breast and the neonatal brain are imaged at a higher frequency (7-18 MHz), which provides better axial and lateral resolution. Deeper structures such as liver and kidney are imaged at a lower frequency 1-6 MHz with lower axial and lateral resolution but greater penetration."

There's no Mention of teeth, but they are superficial so, maybe higher.
It doesn't look harmful to pick the wrong one.
I think this pulsed stuff is more health producing than harmful. (Don't let them know that we know!)
It is the constant grinding 50 or 60 hz sinewave stuff of our power lines that is hurtful to our bodies. AFAIK.

I have been doing a lot of work with 5KHZ to 208KHZ. When the circuits are on I feel good and when they are off, I miss them.

jeanna.

Dr Julian Holmes of Australia, a dentist, has been regrowing teeth now for quite a while. I have a DVD (somewhere?) with photos of the resoration work.. He does it by applying Ozone gas. Its not for the Elite, its for the educated who have the where for all to seek it out.

If I can get one of these devices, I am willing, in the interests of science (lol) to break a tooth and keep a day-by-day journal of things as they unfold.

I've been looking for a way to help the 'community', and this looks like a good one, with the bonus that if it doesn't work I can just go the dentist and suffer his cold-chrome ministrations lol

Ultrasound Regrows Damaged Teeth
University of Alberta scientists have developed a wearable microminiature ultrasound generator that causes damaged teeth to generate more tooth material.

Hockey players, rejoice! A team of University of Alberta researchers has created technology to regrow teeth--the first time scientists have been able to reform human dental tissue.

Using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), Dr. Tarak El-Bialy from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and Dr. Jie Chen and Dr. Ying Tsui from the Faculty of Engineering have created a miniaturized system-on-a-chip that offers a non-invasive and novel way to stimulate jaw growth and dental tissue healing.

Mechanical injury from wearing orthodontic braces causes progressive root resorption, limiting the duration that braces can be worn. This new device will work to counteract the destructive resorptive process while allowing for the continued wearing of corrective braces. With approximately five million people in North America presently wearing orthodontic braces, the market size for the device would be 1.4 million users.

This would allow more rapid realignment of teeth for those undergoing orthodontic therapy.

El-Bialy had previously demonstrated this effect using a larger ultrasound generator. He teamed up with other faculty and developed a wearable device so that the benefit could be had more easily. His previous research showed that the ultrasound also helped cause damaged bones to repair.

El-Bialy has shown in earlier research that ultrasound waves, the high frequency sound waves normally used for diagnostic imaging, help bones heal and tooth material grow.

"I was using ultrasound to stimulate bone formation after lower-jaw lengthening in rabbits," El-Bialy said in an interview Tuesday.

To his surprise, not only did he help heal the rabbits' jaws after the surgery, but their teeth started to grow as well.

He foresees the day when people with broken bones will wear ultrasound emittters wrapped into the bandages.

This approach by itself probably can't solve the problem of growing replacements for entirely missing teeth. However, ultrasound might help stimulate tooth building cells once scientists develop techniques for creating suitable cells. Still, additional problems must be solved to get tooth building cells to produce the particular tooth shape desired.

Dr Holmes is sometimes available through his yahoo group. The group use to be much more active but I have gone there to ask questions before when it appeard dead and did get response so somoeone is watching. It was a dentist, Bill Domb, from this forum who kindly sent me the DVD of tooth restoration I mentioned.

Thanks xbusymom for posting that PDF file! I now have it tucked away... was fretting last night on how I would prove all this to you guys.

See this forum and ask questions here.. I hope someone is still there.

I will be starting a new thread, maybe today, regarding new dental techniques that use ozone that eliminates the need for root canal. I do not know of dentists regrowing teeth that are easily available in the US at this point but this procedure I will tell about I have had and it is excellent. I will never again go to a dentist that does not use ozone

[witchy1]

I sent an email to the developers on the 20th November last year............... I got an email back today - wow, hows that for customer service - at least he replied: As follows
Hi

The device doesn't regrow teeth in human yet

I love how in the US, teeth are somehow not considered part of health. The funny thing is while having , as a self employed artist, been excluded from dental "care" I've watched my friend's teeth deteriorate while mine somehow survive.

Found the specs for the ultrasound.

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a medical technology, generally utilizing 1.5 MHz frequency pulses, with a pulse width of 200 μs, repeated at 1 kHz, at an intensity of 30 mW/cm2, 20 minutes/day.
Applications of LIPUS include:

Promoting bone fracture healing.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-0)
Treating orthodontically induced root resorption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_resorption).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-1)
Regrow missing teeth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth).
Enhancing mandibular growth in children with hemifacial microsomia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemifacial_microsomia).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-2)
Promoting healing in various soft tissues such as cartilage, inter vertebral disc, etc.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-3)
Improving muscle healing after laceration injury.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-4)
Researchers at the University of Alberta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Alberta) have used LIPUS to gently massage teeth roots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gums) and jawbones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawbones) to cause growth or regrowth, and have grown new teeth in rabbits after lower jaw surgical lengthening (Distraction osteogenesis) (American Journal of Orthodontics, 2002). As of June 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2006), a larger device has been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration) (FDA) and Health Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Canada) for use by orthopedic surgeons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_surgeons). A smaller device that fits on braces has also been developed but is still in the investigational stage and is not available to the public.
It has not yet been approved by either Canadian or American regulatory bodies and a market-ready model is currently being prepared. LIPUS is expected to be commercially available before the end of 2012.
According to Dr. Chen from the University of Alberta, LIPUS MAY also have medical/cosmetic benefits in allowing people to grow taller by stimulating bone growth.

It's funny that you posted this because last night, i was thinking of
this very some idea. After watching so many star trex shows, you notice
how they have combine light and sound to heal wounds. I was just thinking
last night about checking into this to see if it was a plausible idea. Looks
like someone beat me to the drawing board already.

[Siberia9]

How about someone figure out a way to get a tooth to fall out on its own when it goes bad, like when we were kids with our first teeth. That would impress me all to pieces.

[humanalien]

Instant healing or regrowth of teeth sounds better to me.
Quick!!! Somebody invent this please........

[Ernie Nemeth]

Great thread!

I have been working on growing back a missing tooth for the last few months by direct intention. Got this idea while meditating. It hasn't been working out for me. I have only half a molar left then I will not be able to chew properly any more. I try not to worry about it. Mostly I manage.

It would be a real treat to grow that tooth back.

Hope this ultra-sound tool is recovered. I'd buy one.

Witchy1,
It's ALWAYS about the money. If they can't charge for it, they suppress it. Since the FDA (Rockefeller) is involved, then you know they won't allow anything to benefit any of us. It disappeared for that reason alone. The only thing the FDA approves of are the poisons that big pharma puts out.
But take comfort in knowing that the vaults are going to open up for us soon enough...It'll all change for us....Hold onto that thought...!

What a WONDERFUL thread. I need new front teeth because of an accident I had 40 years ago. I have been living with a root canal all that time, instead of having an implant, because I've been holding out for a development such as this. And, there is lots out there about how bad root canals are for the whole body.

Meanwhile, what ever you do... do NOT brush your teeth with toothpaste. This is actually formulated to cause gum disease and prevents the body from re-mineralizing the teeth. I posted an article about it on a different thread.

I hope you keep us all informed if you find out more. I did some poking around on this topic on the internet and discovered that there is a whole industry that has produced home ultrasonic machines to help people loose fat. I had no idea!

Found the specs for the ultrasound.

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a medical technology, generally utilizing 1.5 MHz frequency pulses, with a pulse width of 200 μs, repeated at 1 kHz, at an intensity of 30 mW/cm2, 20 minutes/day.
Applications of LIPUS include:

Promoting bone fracture healing.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-0)
Treating orthodontically induced root resorption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_resorption).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-1)
Regrow missing teeth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth).
Enhancing mandibular growth in children with hemifacial microsomia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemifacial_microsomia).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-2)
Promoting healing in various soft tissues such as cartilage, inter vertebral disc, etc.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-3)
Improving muscle healing after laceration injury.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_pulsed_ultrasound#cite_note-4)
Researchers at the University of Alberta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Alberta) have used LIPUS to gently massage teeth roots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gums) and jawbones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawbones) to cause growth or regrowth, and have grown new teeth in rabbits after lower jaw surgical lengthening (Distraction osteogenesis) (American Journal of Orthodontics, 2002). As of June 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2006), a larger device has been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration) (FDA) and Health Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Canada) for use by orthopedic surgeons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_surgeons). A smaller device that fits on braces has also been developed but is still in the investigational stage and is not available to the public.
It has not yet been approved by either Canadian or American regulatory bodies and a market-ready model is currently being prepared. LIPUS is expected to be commercially available before the end of 2012.
According to Dr. Chen from the University of Alberta, LIPUS MAY also have medical/cosmetic benefits in allowing people to grow taller by stimulating bone growth.

Now does anyone know how we can get one that does this????


Sure:

Over throw the current system of control and oppression, remove ALL INTELECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (more oppression) and create a resource based economy..

any other questions?

I am of a generation who visited the NHS dentist every 6 months. When I was 11 i had a number of back teeth removed to make room and from then I had fillings every time I visited a dentist. That is because dentists never got paid unless they did invasive work! As a consequence my teeth are on their last legs, although most of them are miraculously intact. I have been told that it would take "tens of thousands of pounds" to put my teeth right but that is way out of my league. I think dentists owe people a duty of care to the people whose teeth they have ruined but unfortunately when they look into our mouths all they see is ££$£$$ and that is why we will never see this piece of equipment on the market imo. If anybody knows differently though please let me know because I for one would LOVE to grow some new teef! :)

Hello all.

I found the specs that some of the members were looking for, as the ultrasound frequencies weren't specified in the earlier posts...

I had saved them myself a while back and was able to keep the info. This is just a snippet of what I had blogged from the original article...

March 25th, 2007 Smile Posted in Natural Remedies |

Yes, it is possible to repair and even regrow your teeth using a completely natural method that is actually based on science. A team of Alberta researchers applied for a patent that claims they created a miniature device that will stimulate the jaw bones and gums around the affected tooth. Using the low intensity ultrasound technology, they claim they were able to regrow the root of a tooth and stimulate tooth grow and repair.

Although the technology is not going to be in your local dental office for a few years, I believe we don’t have to wait for it and apply the common sense to do the whole process ourselves. First, we need a low frequency ultrasound source and from all the legally (you can’t buy a real ultrasound machine unless you are a doctor) available sources two come to mind.

First is a Novasonic Massager that can generate a sound vibration of 20,000 Hertz. It is not your regular massager and all you have to do is slightly touch the skin and you can feel the sound waves go deep within your body. I have one myself and love using it.

Second device is more sophisticated and you can find them selling on Ebay. The link searches for the Ebay results for “ultrasound massager” and you will see a bunch of them selling from $100 to $150. They are much more powerful then a Novasonic model and can generate up to 3-5 mHz frequency, so be very careful when using one. You should get one that generates only 1-2 mHz, as 3-5 mHz vibrations don’t go very far – about 1/8″-1/4″ deep.

So look for one that generates 1-2 mHz.

i watched a TV show-future science/technology back in around 99, they was talking about this grow your own teeth and they saying they have successfully growing back a tooth on a rat...i do believe we already have the technologies but it got suppress.

[Mad Hatter]

Mad Hatter dons his lateral thinking cap...

As yet another who could sorely do with the release of this specific technology, the suppression comes as no suprise when considering the solution is frequency based. It is unfortunate that any exposure and thus potential subsequent study of the deeper levels of Physics involved would let way too much out of the bag. Ie Free Energy, Anti Gravity, StarTrek healing. Since a release of info or tech in any one of these arenas would lead quickly to the others taking hold as well. Is it any wonder the system works so hard to keep said info well and truly buried.

If we just look at the impact such tech would have on just one area for arguments sake, eg that of Big Pharma and the Medical Mafia, and extrapolate out the implications for the way the system currently works. So what happens if almost all disease could be cured at home with something akin to a PC and a couple of space blankets. Add to that the current power system being used to generate healing frequencies in homes and offices and it soon dawns on those running the show they will have a, not insubstantial, problem in dealing with all those Doctors who may have spent a decade learning their stock in trade. Ooops ya'll gotta go find something else to do with your lives... add to that all those chemists... so on and so on.

Apply the same logic to the transport and power industries. Lo and behold you are going to have massive numbers of intelligent people out of work with nothing to do but twiddle their thumbs. Transitioning to such to such an extraordinarily different paradigm whilst trying to maintain a completely redundant financial system must be causing said planners a not inconsiderable amount of heartburn. (personally I hope they're choking on it.)

If the great unwashed wish to even see a twinkling of what living under such a different paradigm might be like we will all have to give some serious thought as to how each of us would personally approach having to adjust if our society where to actually rapidly undertake such an enourmous structural change.

One might start with the following question... Assuming you are not one of those who found their skillset instantly redundant, would you continue to do what you do each day for free if society met all your other needs?

*Food 4 thought*

Mouse teeth grown in lab


Custom-made human teeth could one day be grown in the laboratory, relegating dentures to a thing of the past.

The predictions follow successful experiments to grow mouse teeth in a laboratory dish.

Scientists believe the technique could benefit humans within a decade.

Ultimately, they hope to be able to trigger the body to re-grow lost or diseased teeth at the place in the mouth where they belong, using gene therapy.

"We think we can make synthetic teeth in a dish and be able to supply an incisor, a premolar or a molar to the clinician for implant," said Dr Mary MacDougall of the University of Texas Health Science Centre, San Antonio.

"The far-stretch of the research is to be able to induce the tissue in the mouth, at the site where the tooth is lost, to make a new tooth," she told BBC News Online.

Tooth regrowth

The first step of the research is to study how mouse teeth grow and develop in the laboratory.

Already, at least 25 different genes have been identified that are involved in this process.

However, growing human teeth in the lab will be more complex than growing mouse teeth.

To find out more about human tooth development, the US researchers are studying families with a rare genetic disorder that makes them grow too many teeth.

They have also engineered mouse and human cells to make the hard tissues of the teeth, including enamel and dentin.

Dr MacDougall said she believed that it would be about ten years before human teeth could be grown in the lab for use in dental surgery.

Persuading the body to regenerate its own new teeth, by injecting a gene into the gums, is expected to take longer.

[Connecting with Sauce]

Atom Bergstrom says chewing an maintaining in the mouth "mature cheddar cheese, Garlic and red onion" at around 6 pm solar time is a good way to remineralise teeth...

It was discussed in this show towards the ends if I remember rightly... all of it great info:

Enjoy.

[Unified Serenity]

great thread, though I can only take one page. I start having anxiety whenever I read anything about dental issues. I don't even take my children to the dentist. It's the one thing my ex and I agree on regarding the little blessings.

It would be great to have some new tech to regrow teeth. I liked the thread about vitamin K and rat fish. I just can't handle the topic, ugh.

[CdnSirian]

I too have great issues over the dental stuff. Have read all on this thread and am looking at getting a US machine. There is one where I work and I may be able to use it. Thank you!!

Dear .....,

While it's true that they are making great strides in the lab now with regrowing teeth. It will be at least several years before they are treating patients in the clinic. This is why it wasn't listed in our "Disease" scroll down menu in your patient inquiry page.

Unfortunately, we do not know of any treatment center in the world that is doing this for patients at this time. I'm sorry that I didn't have better news for you.
