Tooth regeneration
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Tooth regeneration is a stem cell based regenerative medicine procedure in the field of tissue engineering and stem cell biology to replace damaged or lost teeth by regrowing them from autologous stem cells.[1]
As a source of the new bioengineered teeth somatic stem cells are collected and reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells which can be placed in the dental lamina directly or placed in a reabsorbable biopolymer[2] in the shape of the new tooth [3]
History
Young et al.[4] first demonstrated in 2002 that teeth could be regenerated from cells.[5]
