Kids Dental Insurance, The use of prefabricated blood vessels may revolutionize root canals
While root canals are effective in saving a tooth that has become infected or decayed, this age-old procedure may cause teeth to become brittle and susceptible to fracture over time. Now researchers at OHSU in Portland, Oregon, have developed a process by which they can engineer new blood vessels in teeth, creating better long-term outcomes for patients and clinicians.
Their findings published online today in the journal Scientific Reports.
