Los Angeles Periodontist, Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, Shares His Insight on 3D-Printed, Bacteria-Fighting Teeth

    LOS ANGELES, CA, December 07, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, is sharing his insight on new 3-D-printed teeth that fight bacteria. Recently reported by Dominic Basulto in the October 20, 2015, issue of The Washington Times, these new artificial teeth are among the latest in artificial dental restorations produced through 3-D printing. Like other artificial teeth, these look and feel like natural teeth. Thanks to antimicrobial substances included in the material, however, these artificial teeth destroy 99 percent of bacteria that make contact with them. Modern dental patients may enjoy major benefits from this technology before long.

The invention of 3-D printed anti-cavity teeth is impressive, but Dr. Baradaran says that it is likely to need rigorous testing to confirm that it stands up to years of wear and tear, such as from chewing and brushing. Nevertheless, it holds promise for aging populations, who suffer disproportionately from tooth decay and its effects, such as tooth loss and infections. Dr. Sharyar Baradaran notes, "Anti-bacterial 3-D-printed teeth may revolutionize oral health support for a generation. These artificial teeth can potentially guard against common dental problems throughout life."

Patients may have to wait awhile for anti-bacterial teeth to become available, but they can already access a host of treatments at Dr. Baradaran's office. Dental implants remain the top choice for replacing lost teeth. Dr. Baradaran also offers a host of treatment for periodontal disease, including surgical and non-surgical treatment options, as well as treatments for gummy smiles.
