Scientists Grow Teeth in Lab


Recommended Posts

The scientists, based at the Forsyth Institute in Boston, reportedly are the first to coax such a complex tooth structure from a collection of individual cells. "This is very exciting, and I don't think it's expected," said R. Bruce Donoff, dean of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The Forsyth scientists already have grown batches of very small tooth crowns, and hope the new technique could be used to grow larger, more complete teeth. Researchers said it would be at least a decade before the technique could be used to help patients.
