Dr. Tarak El-Bialy invented a device that regrew teeth using LIPUS ultrasound in 2006.
He proved that even a commercial LIPUS ultrasound device would regrow teeth but received tons of flak from his supervisors.
He invented a smaller device designed for the mouth, and was going to do clinical trials but was unable to get proper funding, the reason he was given was "there are more pressing issues like cancer and diabetes"
𝗘𝗖𝗠 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗯𝘀
The powdered inner lining of a pigs bladder, the extracellular matrix, can tell any wound to heal, even if that wound is a missing limb.
I have only heard of this working on fingers and large muscles in the leg, but possibly it can regrow much more just as with the LIPSU ultrasound, it has been suppressed and ignored on purpose.
Discoveries like this threaten multi-billion dollar industries, and those funds can easily stifle any competition.

A jockey in New Jersey had a third of his finger bitten off by a horse, but a new procedure using pulverized pig bladder powder helped regenerate the missing tissue and bone. The powder stimulates the body to attract stem cells, which then produce the missing tissue. In another case, a woman in California slammed her finger in a door, and doctors said it couldn't be reattached. However, through regenerative medicine, she researched and successfully grew back the tip of her finger. The medicine she used prevented scar tissue formation and activated existing cells to regenerate. Her finger is now fine, albeit slightly shorter than before. This breakthrough could be significant for amputations.
Speaker 0: Tonight, we're talking to that doctor and his patient about this medical marvel less than 2 months ago. A New Jersey based jockey's injured fingertip may have been lost for good. That after his horse bit it right off. A third of his finger was missing. However, he found hope in a new procedure that regenerates tissue and even part of the bone, and it didn't even involve an operating room.
Speaker 1: The powder that is, actually the bladder of a pig that's been pulverized. And, you apply it over that fingertip.
Speaker 0: As doctor Eugenia Rodriguez there out of Deerfield Beach. Doctor Rodriguez says once this powder is put on the wound, it stimulates your body to attract stem cells, which then begin producing the tissue or begins producing the tissue that is missing or was missing. He's been using this powder for several years, he says, and he hopes this new pain free treatment will become mainstream in the very near future. Your finger in the door and losing the tip of it. And what's even worse, your doctor says, hey, it can't even be reattached.
That's exactly what happened to a California woman, but she wouldn't accept the doctor's prognosis. So what did she do? Elizabeth Cohen Has the pretty interesting details. We actually didn't believe it.
Speaker 2: I know. It is so amazing.
Speaker 1: It's it's one of those water cooler stories.
Speaker 2: Right. Like, oh my goodness kind of thing. A definite OMG story. So this woman, Deepak Kulkarni, I think she may be the ultimate empowered patient, and you you gotta hear this story. She, as Kira said, she slammed her finger in the door, and the pinky broke off at the tip right at the base of the nail.
She went to the emergency room, and they said, sorry. We can't reattach it. And in fact, we're gonna have to amputate more. And so Deepa said, no way. I'm not taking that.
And to make a long story short, She spent weeks doing her own research, and it grew back. You can see it right there. It is perfectly fine now through something called regenerative medicine. Now I'm gonna show you a picture that is very graphic. I realized that it's 9:27 in the morning, and this would not be everyone's cup of tea.
Speaker 0: So close your eyes. So close your eyes if
Speaker 2: you don't wanna see this, but I think it really spells it out. That is the fingertip. She saved it to this day, and that is her finger now. So that tip was off of that finger, And there it is. It repaired.
We it repaired itself, but Deepa had to tell her doctor about it. She had to convince her doctor to try this approach. And she said the doctor she was talking to hadn't even heard of it before. She had to get them to do it.
Speaker 0: Okay. So explain then how it happened, how the pinky actually regenerated.
Speaker 2: Well, it's this incredible drug. It's it's research being done out of the University of Pittsburgh and a few other places. And, basically, what it does is that this medicine that she put on her finger told her finger not to heal. Because once something heals up, it forms scar tissue and it won't regenerate. And instead, what it does is it activates some cells that are already in the body and tells those cells, hey.
Regenerate. Sort of become what you were before. So it really is quite a huge step, for people with amputations. And as you can see, her pinky is fine now. She said it's a little shorter than her other pinky, but she's fine.

A Canadian invention may offer a solution for athletes or anyone missing teeth. Researchers at the University of Alberta have developed an ultrasound device that can regrow human teeth. The device was initially tested on rabbits and successfully stimulated tooth growth. After scaling down the machine, the researchers hope to make it user-friendly and bring it to the market within two years. Dentists are optimistic about the device's potential to save teeth and improve long-term success rates for reimplantation. The invention has already been patented, and its development is in progress.
Speaker 0: Help could soon be at hand for athletes or anyone sporting a toothless grin. It's a Canadian invention that not only plugs the gaps, but fills the holes with brand new pearly whites. CTV's Deborah Shirey explains. Aims. Chris Miller getting some time in Edmonton spotted.
Ryan Smith is down and hurt.
Speaker 1: It was a jaw dropping shot as Edmonton Oilers Ryan Smith takes a puck to the face, and yes, those are his teeth.
Speaker 2: It's as quickly as possible for you.
Speaker 1: It's too late for Smith's smile, but Researchers at the University of Alberta could have a cure for future toothless hockey grins, an ultrasound device That regrows human teeth. Tariq Albi Ali was researching jaw growth in rabbits.
Speaker 3: Accidentally, when I applied the ultrasound, I found the lower incense will grow, grow, grow
Speaker 1: Albie Ali is the first to try the treatment on humans. After 20 minutes a day,
Speaker 3: new teeth started to grow
Speaker 1: in a month.
Speaker 3: With this device will get this roots together, held them together, healing it together, and keep it forever.
Speaker 1: Albi Ali's machine was too big, so he teamed up with nanotech expert, Zhai Chen, who scaled it down from this to this.
Speaker 2: After using this treatment that you can throw away. So this is like a one time use for you and you can put it on easily. What we're working on is more like a user friendly.
Speaker 1: Professors at the University of Alberta have already filed a patent for this invention. It's obviously still in the prototype phase. Scientists to see are hopeful it could hit the market in as little as 2 years.
Speaker 4: Would have a fantastic practical application.
Speaker 1: No no one knows more about losing teeth than Oilers dentist Anthony Sneaswell. He says time is limited when it comes to saving teeth.
Speaker 4: If we can get at the point where it doesn't matter because we can use this device, then it's gonna improve situations where we can reimplant teeth and they'll they'll be successful long term.
Speaker 1: For now, all the attention has taken Tariq Albiale off guard.
Speaker 3: No. I don't have time to see my
Speaker 1: And he can't wipe the smile off his face. Deborah Shirey, CTV News.

In a pilot clinical trial, researchers extracted teeth from patients who were going to get braces. They applied forces to induce root erosion and used an ultrasound device on each patient. After 4 weeks, the teeth that didn't receive stress showed erosion, but the ultrasound application resulted in the formation of new dental tissue. Encouraged by these results, they applied even higher forces in another experiment and found that ultrasound preserved the root while the inside root was severely resolved in the control group. This confirms that ultrasound is effective in orthodontic treatments.
Speaker 0: Clinical trial, pilot clinical trial on patients that they have braces. And in some patients that they are going to have braces, some of them we have to take some teeth so we can have spaces so we can straight up their crooked teeth. On those patients, the teeth that to be extracted are always good candidates for us to do some research on them because the patients are going to lose them anyways. Right? So yeah.
But we had also had a hard time recruiting patients because most of them, they are excited to get braces. We want to finish the braces. So and so. Anyways, so we're successful in getting some patients and we start to apply some, forces to induce root erosion or root resorption. And on the other side, in each patient, we apply the commercially available ultrasound device.
You can see the applicator here as big as big as big like a Tony and it wasn't actually comfortable for the patients to apply, but, I was lucky to get really good patients compliant patients to use this commercially available device. After 4 weeks, the teeth that didn't receive stress on. You can see the erosion. This is the cementum layer here and also the dentin get eroded and this, root as well, you can see the erosion everywhere. But interestingly, after 4 weeks, when we apply the ultrasound here, neodental tissue was formed.
Neodentine and neosumentum. That was again the first time in history that we can show that new dental tissue can be formed in 4 weeks. And that was published in the American Journal of Orthoanontics. So we start to move more higher to higher forces because when we did this pilot study, we were aware like we were actually, we have to be very careful not to apply too much force, so the patient don't get a severe pain and stuff. Now, we're confident enough to apply huge amount of force and see what in the real life, what's going to happen.
So this is what happened. This is at University of Sperta. A patient came for the same experiment and then we apply huge amount of force like almost, 13 times the original force to apply it. Just try to imitate the real time or the real life, orthodontic force application. And then when we apply ultrasound to this site only.
You can see the root was preserved here, but the inside root was severely resolved and the control, root or the tooth that's been moved without any ultrasound, the two roots get shorter compared to the preserved root here. So, that means the ultrasound really works.
