If they can harvest everything from donors like kidneys and corneas etc., why not teeth and has anyone tried ??
Question: or do you need to take rejection drugs for the rest of your life if you do?
Answers: My adult teeth were never fully developed, and were not able to ever function properly. I received false teeth, but that became too expensive and a pain to keep up with. I went on a 'tooth donor list' (yes there is such a thing) at my hospital. When a woman of my size mouth died recently in a car accident, I was able to receive her teeth. Since then I have had orthodontics and a LOT of dental work done, but finally they are beginning to seem like my own (and this was over a year ago)! For the first few months, my body did not seem to like the new addition, but with some pain killers and special medication, I was able to help my mouth and body adapt. Good question!
teeth are tricky because you have nerves that run in them and cant replicate that by putting in new teeth, so your senses would be whack, putting nerves in a hard non repairable substance such as teeth would be difficult opposed to a soft tissue like in an arm. and to get to the teeth far enough to put the nerves in youd have to have away the majorityh of the tooth donated anyways.
Good question. I think that would be more expensive if there were such a thing than the way they give you teeth now. I would'nt want someone elses teeth in my head.
let me know if you want my i can specify that on my wil.
I'm guessing there are just too many variations in size and shape for a donor tooth to be likely to fit a recipient jaw socket.
I've had enough work done, always seeing the X-rays, and finally what was left of all my teeth removed for dentures. The variations for 32 teeth were amazing.
I think the cost of matching donor teeth with recipient jaws would make the whole thing too expensive, and I have no idea about the post-mortem survivability of teeth. Every thing else you can donate has a short shelf-life.
Tooth transplants from paid donors were done in the 19th century. In the late 20th, transplants were considered by some to be superior to the implants then available. Size matching was a problem. Autotransplants (moving teeth from one socket to another) are still done, but newer implants appear to be better and cheaper than donor teeth.
idk..if anyone tried...but teeth rot so they can use them...hope thats answers your question
idk if anyone has tried, but fake teeth can be created, it would take too long to attach each tooth, and unlike an arm it is not vital. though u do need nutrients usually in the form of a solid.
