Regeneration in dentistry

Dentistry is a vital science for the human being, perhaps one that, due to being bloody and painful at the beginning, was somewhat displaced from its development. Dentists and researchers were satisfied with just trying to make it less painful, they focused their research on equipment and instruments that would make the dental consultation more pleasant. Then aesthetics set the tone in the studies that were carried out in it. Now, after the evolution of this science as a science of continuous advance and essential for human health, other topics that promote dental and oral health are shown as part of the integral health of the human being and as the main preventive aspect of human well-being.

Regenerative dentistry has emerged with a strong investigative and technological impulse, it had been brewing for a long time, only it is already a proven fact. The use of restored plasma to regenerate cells has made a notable contribution to the bone restitution of the bone that is lost after extractions, as well as that lost due to periodontal diseases, also in the optimization of dental implants. The well-known regenerative term in medicine would have been very little used as far as oral health is concerned, it was thought impossible to create new enamel or dentin structures of dental pieces, however scientific research work has achieved a paste or dental filling material based on the regeneration obtained through plasma that revitalizes both mentioned structures.

Stem cells, which are the origin of these clinical procedures, have the ability to continuously divide and diversify into many types of specialized cells, not only morphologically, but also functionally. They are called clonogenic cells, with a broad self-renewal force, which makes them useful for the dentist in periodontal ligament, gum, dental pulp, and alveolar bone regeneration procedures. With this potential activated in materials manufactured for dentistry, it is currently possible to recompose dental structures that in a bygone era would have been considered lost, we are facing a significant advance and which is in a hurry to be able to finish with all the complete teeth even being very old and to stop some mouth diseases generated by systemic problems of the patients.

I no longer have the pleasure of practicing this profession, but I am always enthusiastic about everything that implies changes in the way it is applied and what it achieves in the well-being of oral health, science is going by leaps and bounds and fortunately it is going hand in hand with it. dentistry.
