Anicet Mbida delivers to us every morning what is best in terms of innovation.

This Wednesday, he is interested in the discovery of researchers from King's College in London, England.

They succeeded in developing a method to cure cavities without burs or fillings, just by applying gel.

Today's innovation is good news for those who hate going to the dentist.

We found a way to treat cavities without burs or fillings.

It really is a great discovery.

You imagine ?

It would be enough to apply a little gel and the cavity will be filled.

The dentin on the inside and the enamel on the outside, everything will be reconstituted.

So no filling, no amalgam or resin.

These are the real components of his tooth that will regenerate, just like a bone that repairs itself after being broken.

It was researchers at King's College in London, England who developed this treatment.

What does it mean ?

That we will be able to cure cavities and more simply stop them by filling them.

How long will it take to seal a cavity (it's not instantaneous)?

Everything will depend on the extent of the damage.

If you only have a superficial cavity, it can be cured in about ten days, just by brushing your teeth regularly with their magic cocktail.

On the other hand, if the cavity is already well advanced, it can take several months, because the teeth grow very slowly.

But before applying the gel, it will be necessary to start by treating the caries.

Suddenly, it will be like today: strawberry cleaning, dressing, cries, pain, etc.

So if you thought you were dodging the dentist, you failed.

The treatment will be offered above all as an alternative to amalgams and resins.

Either we will be treated immediately with a filling, or we will have to wait several weeks, even several months, for your own tooth to recover.

It's amazing, we thought that adult teeth could not regenerate...

That's also what everyone thought.

But several studies have shown that certain molecules manage to stimulate the reconstruction of both enamel and dentin.

In particular thanks to stem cells, the famous magic cells that can turn into anything.

From now on, the Holy Grail of medical research is to succeed in regenerating our organs as salamanders and other marine animals do.

Can you imagine, someone cuts off your finger and it would be able to grow back… We are working to make it possible one day.
