The process is being facilitated through the use of a drug that was actually developed to help treat symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The research has been able to demonstrate how the stem cells are able to differentiate and repair minor cracks in a tooth; however, it\u2019s not expected to put the field of dentistry out of business just yet.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3512 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=1170%2C625&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dental stem cells used to repair tooth damage.\" width=\"1170\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=120%2C64&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=200%2C107&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=300%2C160&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=400%2C214&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=500%2C267&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=600%2C321&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=768%2C410&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=800%2C428&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=1024%2C547&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?resize=1200%2C641&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/securacell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Dentist.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Limitations to Dental Stem Cell Repairs<\/h2>\n<p>The initial observations are remarkable \u2013 the idea that stem cells can be triggered to repair damage is remarkable. The team however, is quick to point out that initial research has revealed some challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The solution was unable to repair areas with more extensive damage. The scientists believe the approach can be made more robust; but further studies will need to be evaluated.<\/p>\n<h2>The Future of Dental Restoration<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s too soon to expect this treatment to be applied across the country; but it is favorable to see that more sustainable alternatives to dental drills and cavity fillings may be viable at some point in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>References:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Neves, V.
