If you have a broken teeth, you may think that it is gone. But wait a minute! Nanotechnolgy helps you to recreate your teeth.
In a new development, scientists revealed recently that teeth broken could soon be regrown using an ultrasound machine half the size of a thumbnail. The process could take just 12 weeks. Ultrasound is already used to help heal broken bones, now the technology is being applied to teeth. Nanotechnology, which can reduce electronic circuitry to one thousandth of the size of a human hair, has enabled scientists to develop an ultrasound device small enough to fit inside the mouth. A wafer-thin ultrasound chip, which is preprogrammed so that it turns on automatically, can be clipped onto the teeth. When it is on, ultrasound waves massage the gums to stimulate and increase blood flow to produce new tooth tissue.

hi there
I am very much interested on this issue.
Can you tell me where can I find more information about this?
Thank you.
