The Real State of Tooth Regeneration Technology

The core of the issue is that tooth regeneration is not yet a finished, approved treatment ready for public use. The science is promising but still in development.

The table below summarizes the key approaches currently being researched:

The End of the Drill? UK Scientists Pioneer a Gel That Could Regrow Your Teeth

For centuries, the foundation of dentistry has been repair. A cavity forms, and we drill and fill it. A tooth cracks, and we crown it. But what if we could move beyond repair and into regeneration? What if, instead of placing an artificial material, we could instruct your body to heal itself?

Finding a Dental Clinic for Examination of Dark Tooth Spots

Severity: 
Mild
Teeth Problems: 
Worn enamel
Tartar (calculus)
Tooth decay

Initial Image Analysis

  • Image Observations: The picture shows the front teeth with small, dark, punctate (dot-like) spots or specks, primarily located close to the gum line (gingival margin). The spots are circled in red for emphasis. The surrounding gum tissue (gingiva) appears generally pink and healthy in the visible area.

  • Client Statement: "Had it some days now. Can't remove with brush."

 

Occlusal fracture / caries - urgent assessment and temporary protection recommended

Severity: 
Mild
Teeth Problems: 
Worn enamel
Extraction

Quick clinical impression

  • The picture shows occlusal breakdown / possible caries or fractured cusp on the last visible molar (upper right in the photo). The tooth surface looks cavitated and stained; one area looks like loss of enamel/restoration.

  • I don’t see obvious swelling or pus in the photo, and I can’t test percussion/mobility or pulp vitality from a photo — those are needed for definitive diagnosis.
