Researchers worldwide are making progress in growing real human teeth in the lab, with recent advances in materials and techniques that could lead to biological tooth replacements that integrate seamlessly with human tissue, potentially transforming dentistry within the next decade.
Researchers at King's College London have made significant progress in growing lab-based human teeth using innovative scaffolds and cell interactions, aiming to develop biological replacements that could be more natural and accepted by the body than current implants. While challenges remain, this research paves the way for future dental treatments that could fully regenerate teeth from a patient's own cells within the next decade.
Scientists at Science Tokyo have identified two distinct stem cell lineages responsible for forming tooth roots and alveolar bone, revealing signaling pathways that could lead to advanced regenerative dental treatments, moving closer to natural tooth regeneration instead of artificial replacements.
Scientists at King’s College London have successfully grown a tooth in the lab using a biomaterial scaffold that mimics natural tooth development, opening the possibility for fully biological tooth regeneration that could replace traditional dentures and implants in the future.
