"LIPUS is expected to be commercially available before the end of 2009."

Is this still the case? --95.34.1.230 (talk) 00:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

anyone know if this hoax? I barely see any news on this, and most of it is outdated, it would be awesome if this was true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngates87 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Previous References

I just added a bunch of journal references, and removed the existing references, I wasn't sure how to fit them in. The reference section was:

==References==

A. Gf. Matuschka of LIPUS research foundation, Colorado, using low intensity pulsed ultra sound equipment has regrown dentin, pulp, gum, and density of mandible and maxilla bone starting on August 17 2006. Dr. Chavez of Colorado Springs examining X-rays in the fall of 2007 found that teeth, mandible and maxilla gained density equal to a youth in their high teens.

If someone wants to put these references back in, be my guest. Mrienstra (talk) 22:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Links

Just want to mention two links that may be relevant to list in this this article. Patent application: http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=42anAAAAEBAJ&dq=798123

And this article supposedly has a picture of the LIPUS device that is placed in the mouth to regrew teeth: http://www.medtechwatch.ca/6-4_2008/company_profile_2_e.html

Today I added a link to what seems to be a non-commercial information page (lipus.info). Also, here are links to commercial pages that seem to sell LIPUS machines...

Available now, it seems

I'm admittedly somewhat confused by the presentation on the LIPUS foundation website, which I would prefer if were a bit more simple and professional. :-)

However, at some point in time it appears that website has now started to offer the product to the public, although only to people living in the U.S. It states on the website that the apparatus may be rented for one year at the cost of 4 $ per day, all paid in advance.

Again, I have to say it is puzzling to me how something like this can be presented in such a oddly unassuming way, considering this is probably an enormous revolution in dental health. If you are reading this, LIPUS foundation, please, please, please hire a professional web designer. Today. :-) --109.189.99.163 (talk) 11:46, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a forum discussion where some posts claims an acquaintance has had LIPUS done that improved their teeth.

http://www.topix.com/forum/city/utica-ny/TL8KFFTPCU8VMR6FG

However, none of these claims offer a name or contact information of any dentist or clinic that did the alleged work. --109.189.231.146 (talk) 22:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

lipus.org site and its claims are false

After researching this device and talking to the owner of lipus.org - it appears he would have you part ways with $4500 to rent the device. Skeptical as I am, I spoke to a professor at the University of Alberta and the CEO of SmileSonica. Both denied the existence of this device outside of their facility and basically listed the owner of lipus.org as a potential fraud, denying any any knowledge of Mr. Matuschka involvement and his independent research. ––99.189.172.58 (talk) 13:48, 7 July 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by InTheCity3D (talk • contribs)

Does it say anywhere "official" that he's a fraud? Or, on the other hand, is there anyone "official" at all who does refer to him (as legitimate)?

If it's clear it's bogus, I certainly would agree the link should be removed from the page here. --109.189.231.146 (talk) 06:11, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A related topic doesn't seem to have an article here in Wikipedia. But it seems to me there should be an article, that then should be listen in the See more section here. http://www.holisticdentistry.news/2015-11-18-revolutionary-tooth-decay-treatment-reverses-tooth-damage-painlessly.html --62.16.186.44 (talk) 09:21, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
