[Tooth Regeneration] Realistic Alveolar Bone Regeneration + Saving Your Teeth #Replantation #ApicalSurgery #DrChoiYonghun

Treatment is possible when only one tooth is loose.

It is only possible if there is a non-loose tooth next to it.

It is not possible if multiple teeth are missing or multiple teeth are loose.

For these patients, the advice is to wait until 2030, when tooth regeneration treatment is said to become available.

In dental treatment, problems tend to arise one after another, and they keep getting bigger over time.

That may be why most of the patients who visit me are those who have already had about two implants placed.

At first, they simply accepted it and had the tooth extracted.

But as one tooth after another is extracted, they inevitably come to realize, from experience, that this isn't the right path.

Fortunately, those whose remaining teeth are in good enough condition can try the treatment I'm introducing today.

If you know a little about dentistry, this will be easy to understand.

A patient came in with an upper premolar covered in tartar and bacteria, loose and painful.

They had already lost several teeth and came in saying they no longer wanted any more extractions.

Even by common sense, saving the original tooth is the right approach.

We should try to save the tooth that's still there and make every effort. If that doesn't work, then extraction can be considered.

At this point, what I feel is this:

Koreans really love resets...

Even the familiar apartment complex where we used to live, we want it torn down quickly and rebuilt from scratch.

We want politicians swapped out quickly, too.

We also wish romantic relationships could be reset and started over.

Maybe that's also why the divorce rate is climbing so fast.

The culture of wanting the neighborhood we grew attached to torn down quickly so new apartments can be built in its place has, I sometimes think, also seeped into dental treatment.

Many people don't even consider saving the teeth they still have.

They simply pull them out first and then agonize over what to put in their place, and that often saddens me.

Looking closely at the photos, this tooth still retains a considerable amount of periodontal ligament.

Based on that, we can attempt regenerative treatment.

The most important point is to use a dedicated tooth storage solution to maximize the vitality of the remaining periodontal ligament.

Next, tooth surface treatment and periodontal tissue regeneration factor therapy are performed.

It sounds complicated, but the procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, after which we wait while performing simple follow-up care.

Ultimately, healing happens within the patient's own body.

Four months later, the pain around the tooth has naturally disappeared (because all the inflammation was removed).

Honestly, I was very surprised by the alveolar bone regeneration myself.

Alveolar bone regeneration has occurred to an almost perfect degree, and what's astonishing is that only four months have passed.

Also, if the tooth is saved this way and used carefully, its lifespan can be extended.

The longer it lasts, the better. When this tooth nears the end of its life, regenerative treatment is an option, and if a new treatment method has been developed by then,

you can receive that instead.

When an apartment complex is rebuilt, its property value rises and it becomes a better place to live, but teeth don't work that way.

That's all.

In Korea, implants are the standard go-to treatment.

Saving a tooth without root canal treatment is not an easy or simple procedure.

Also, once a tooth passes a certain point, it can no longer be saved.

Cases involving multiple missing teeth or multiple loose teeth make the tooth-saving treatment I perform difficult.

I recommend reviewing my blog and YouTube channel thoroughly to see whether you qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is treatment possible if only one loose tooth is present?

Yes, the article explains that treatment is possible when only one tooth is loose. However, it requires a non-loose tooth next to it, and it is considered difficult when multiple teeth are missing or loose.

How does the tooth regeneration procedure work?

Treatment begins by using a dedicated tooth storage solution to maximize the vitality of the remaining periodontal ligament, followed by tooth surface treatment and periodontal tissue regeneration factor therapy. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, after which simple follow-up care is provided while healing progresses.

How far has the alveolar bone regeneration case progressed?

In the case described in the article, four months after treatment the pain around the tooth had resolved and alveolar bone regeneration had occurred to an almost complete extent. The article notes that this is the progress of a single case and that healing takes place within the patient's own body.

In what cases is saving a tooth difficult?

The article explains that saving teeth is difficult when multiple teeth are missing or multiple teeth are loose. It also states that once a tooth passes a certain point, it can no longer be saved, and it recommends checking whether you qualify by referring to the explanations on the blog and YouTube channel.

What treatment is commonly considered the standard in Korea?

The article explains that implants are the standard treatment in Korea. It also points out that saving a tooth is not an easy or simple treatment.
