Scientists in the U.K. have developed a new material that may allow them to grow teeth in the lab, which could provide an alternative to fillings and dental implants someday.

Lab-grown teeth could offer a natural alternative to fillings and implants by allowing adults to regenerate their own teeth. This approach uses a special material that enables cell communication ...

The breakthrough could help patients who have lost their teeth by offering an alternative to fillings or dental implants. The team of researchers at King's College, in collaboration with Imperial ...

Building off work published late last year in ACS Macro Letters, a team at King’s College London is developing methods for lab-grown replacement teeth and fillings made from human cells.

As helpful as they are to many, fillings and dental implants can be detrimental, and while they have long been the only solutions to decay, it may soon be possible for teeth to regrow themselves.

Scientists have gotten one step closer to growing replacement teeth in the lab — a development that could pave the way for new alternatives to unpleasant dental fillings and root canals.
