Concept Dentistry - Patent Pending

It's a very simple concept. Instead of full root canals and removing and replacing damaged teeth, use common dentistry practices and stemcells to regrow damaged teeth. 

In the case of cavities and fillings, teeth would be cleaned and prepped as they would be normaly for fillings. Instead of using filing compound or metals the filling would be a stemcell compound mixed with enamel type substance, and then capped for the duration of the healing process. Once the stemcell have regrown the tooth, the cap is removed and the new tooth can be put to work. 

With the ability of gathering stemcells from the host body this kind of procedure shouldn't cause any "controversy" normaly involved with stemcell procedures. Though it will no doubt raise the cost of dental procedures but with better overall results. Combined with the WaterLas method of drilling this could be a painless and well received method of dental repair.

It's a sound concept if it were the get the right funding, backing & support. A game changer as it were. Now to get the patents going...
