Chinese scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have taken a step in this direction by developing a drug to prevent caries. Their vaccine has been tested and has shown potential in the fight against anaerobic bacteria, which play a key role in the development of caries. If experts approve this vaccine, it can become an effective means to combat tooth decay in the future, writes Esoreiter.ru.
However, like any other medicine, a vaccine cannot be the only way to fight tooth decay. There are several other methods that can help in preventing tooth decay. For example, infiltration is a method in which a special gel is applied to the tooth to prevent tooth destruction. This method is already used by dentists and can be effective in combination with a vaccine.
Another method is the treatment of teeth with ozone or laser. Both methods help to destroy bacteria that can lead to tooth decay. The air-abrasive method can also be effective, but it cannot be used for hard-to-reach teeth.
The use of stem cells can also help in the fight against tooth decay. This method allows you to fill the damaged areas of the teeth with healthy tissue and restore the structure of the tooth. However, this method is still at the research stage and may not be available to the general public in the near future.
In general, the fight against caries is a long and complex process that requires the use of various methods and technologies. However, with the development of a vaccine and the emergence of new treatments, we can be sure that the future of dental medicine will be bright and encouraging.
