According to a report published in the monthly journal ACS Nano, dentists would soon be able to improve the root canal treatment with the help of a nano-sized dental film.
This film would be instrumental in bringing the ailing tooth back to life. The report was written by Nadia Benkirane-Jessel and her co-workers.
It states that every year the root canal procedures are helpful in preventing tooth loss in millions of people around the world.
In the root canal treatment the doctor removes the sore and swollen pulp. Pulp is the soft tissue present inside the ailing or injured tooth which has blood vessels and nerves.
Regenerative endodontics will make it possible to give a ground breaking substitute to pulp removal. This technique focuses on the growth and delivery of tissues which are used to substitute the damaged or sick dental pulp.
The researchers revealed that the film will contain a material that could help in regenerating the pulp. The nano -sized film has 1/50,000th thickness of a human hair.
The studies conducted earlier have shown that the substance which is known as alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone, has anti inflammatory properties.
