We expect to be the first with a living cell treatment approved for this application, with site-specific regeneration,” said MacKay.

The company has already completed CelTx Phase 3 trials, and is finalizing data for approval submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the year’s end, he said.

Terrence Griffin, associate professor of the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, has his own unique treatment. This involves applying platelet-rich blood plasma to the receding gums, which causes clotting that promotes new blood vessels, collagen synthesis, and the growth of new bone over the roots, he said.

griffin study was done on humans over a period of 4 years i think or 5, anyway achived better results than the more traditional method which isnt 100% effective.
 
Wasn't there a story last year as well about some kind of gel that a bloke applied to his finger after he cut the end of it off in an accident, said gel was then supposed to have stopped the scabbing/scarring from taking place and the finger reputedly grew back? (think this story was on one of the mainstream websites (BBC?) but haven't heard any more since)
 
This is interesting, currently nothing regrows bone.

I'd have thought whatever promoting factors present in the plasma could be used at sites of high impact fractures to produce regrowth and healing at these sites also, may cut down on the number of revision operations that need to take place.

Problem as ever will be cost. The government current dramatically underfunds dentistry in the UK, with next to no emphasis on prevention, this fail in tactics for what is the most part a preventable disease starts with parents of children, then children themselves. As the health promotion agencies disregard dental disease for the most part, we waste all our taxes paying for treatment of preventable diseases.

Its helped in many areas by a dramatic lack of NHS services, which saves taxpayers tremendous amounts of money. I doubt 'gum-regrowth' will be on the cards in UK NHS service for 15-20 years.

Over the next few years trials for tooth regrowth should start, the problem with some of NHS dentists they dont really care.

The good thing about tooth regrowth its should be a lot cheaper than implants and healthy for the individual, with huge profits.
For example male pattern boldness which every male will suffer in their life, a product is in the final trial and waiting for FDA approval even thou its a uk company strange, the Uk has always dragged its feet on certain medical things.

I have receding gums on the bottom, it was due to not looking after my teeth for along time. And I hate myself for it now, This would be a god send, I do look after my teeth now, but the damage is done.
