wish it was now

I can only hope that this becomes available soon. I have long dreamt of having a second chance at having a mouthful of cavity-free teeth.

I had a recent accident and broke my entire jaw. My jaw is wired and what is left of my teeth are loose in the sockets. Between the accidents of the young, and the horrors of the teeth situation in the US, this really needs more than 2 million in investment!!! How can we help this funding grow? Please let me know how to cause this company to grow. I don't know why God only gave us 2 sets of teeth, but he must have known technology would become the next answer we were evolving into. In other words God must have wanted us to handle the issue this way, and the time is now.

Thank You,

A cousin of mine suffered some brain damage in a car accident several years ago. He has short term memory. Every morning his sister calls to make sure he reads it or tell him anything that he forgot. WBR LeoP

Good Luck Mr Sharp. I had little dental surgery when I was younger and no I have missing teeth and am waiting for the day I lose the rest of my teeth. Hopefully he'll solve this problem in the next 10 years!

Don't fret, the answers are coming. Have Faith.

Will this really become a reality because everything it seems has a potential cure or fix on the horizon but it never happens.

7/23/2007 5:04:41 AM MST

is this even close to begin a reality there are so many of us that need new teeth that test subjects are ready and waiting anytime these dentist are ready to try on humans me included i still have my teeth but the ground down to almost nothing so it looks like i don't have any teeth at all smiling is some thing i've not done in public for so long with out covering my mouth fist wish this was now and not later

I hope to have this technology available soon. I have lost three pieces (one because of an infection and two because of orthodontics) but they remain in my mouth as only the nerves were affected. The nerves had to be removed... and it's quite desperating, I'm only 22 but I already now that as they don't have nerves, they don't have the whole conduct that provide calcium and everything... well they will turn fragile and they will change its color. All that I can say is good luck! And please keep this efforts ahead! There has to be a lot of people like me.

I wish for another chance to brush my teeth and keep it clean

11/10/2007 1:18:59 AM MST

I have screwed up by not brushing my teeth daily and I hope this technology would give me another chance.

Today there a breakthrough was announced in stem cell research. I hope this paves the way for better and quicker results.

Dr. Mr Paul Sharpe,
My name is Erlina Vicente, and I have been following your research on the development of new teeth from stem cells. I was wondering if I might be of some help as a volunteer to test your theory or expand on it.

I have lost my front tooth, however it can be said that I do have a spare front tooth that has failed to grow out and has remained inside my gums. My thoughts were you might be able to extract my tooth and use its cells as parts to hopefully grow another in the place where I am missing a tooth.

If anything I would also appreciate any other information you might have on this topic, perhaps other countries or researchers that have been experimenting on the growing new teeth.

Thank you,
Erlina

I would like to point out that it might take at least 10-15 years before this technology becomes available to the general public. There is also the factor of being able to afford it. I'm not trying to discourage anyone but you need to be realistic about the possibilities. Right now we can do two things (be patient and pray for a miracle). If you ask me I think Paul Sharpe was too eager to announce the possibility of re-growing teeth but not eager enough to keep the consumers up date.

15 years? Are you quoting a source? It could be sooner than that. Carla you have no idea when this technology will become available.

12/9/2007 7:50:54 PM MST

Carla, every article that I have read listed that it would take 10-15 years before stem cells could become main stream. you can check Prof. Paul Sharpe's website. The information is not dated so one does not know when the information was posted. Here is one source.

I'm not sure but the article but the article seemed to have been in 2002 (the one that says that this technology will be available in 10 years from now...)

Hello Dr. Sharpe, I am 45 years old and am now getting my third set of dentures tomorrow. I have full dentures and a shrinking gum ridge. I was looking into implants and found news of your research. I am excited about your work, and would consider being a test subject for human testing. Please respond if you are interested. Thank You

Helo Dr Sharpe,I have been looking for something like this for awhile, sitting here thinking why can't they find a way to grow a third tooth i decided to punch that in with stem cells andd found this,I actually have a bridge for a front tooth which , im now having huge health problems including electrical sensitivities , when the front bridge has come out accidently i felt great in the two weeks it was out seemed like my immune system was picking up only to have it come right back down the day the bridge got put back in, so now im convinced its at least contributing to my health issues but i cant go around without a front tooth , i would love to be considered for a volunteer for this pleae e mail me at lilbull624@aol.com if any info comes
Thanks !!

Hello Dr Sharpe,

I have had numerous root canals in my molars that now, at age 41 have gone bad. 2 of the teeth I had pulled and the other 4 have crowns, but my dentist says my real teeth are shrinking below the gumline and may also have to be pulled. I would definitely like to be a guinea pig for this new procedure because I figure it can't get any worse than having the other 4 molars that I have left get pulled out. I do not want to put false teeth or bridges as I know there are complications with them. If interested, contact me.
