- lj3 10y agoThis one is far more exciting to me. The idea that we can re-create dentin from stem cells with functioning nerves and everything is crazy.
- fourstar 10y agoI've talked to most of the researchers studying this particular method. We won't be seeing anything in practice for another 50 years by what some of them claim.

The only way this will come to market faster is if the emerging market as China or some other country, Japan for example, adopt it and start using it. Japan comes to mind as I heard that they actually try to treat root canals overthere.
