A new gel being developed in France may work to help decayed teeth grow back to normal health. Early testing on rats showed decayed teeth being restored to health as fast as four weeks time. The gel contains melanocyte-stimulating hormone which is normally produced in the pituitary gland. This hormone seems to cause tooth cells "turn back on" and start growing again. The researchers say that they may have a viable treatment available in 3 - 5 years that may fix cavities with this gel rather than the drill. Here is a link to the article below.
