Researchers Are Working On Bioengineered Tooth Replacements
These Would Not Have Complications Of Artificial Teeth, Including Implant Failure
Lost teeth can be replaced by artificial implants, which include crowns and bridges. However, even though they are the standard in oral therapy, these implants do not have the properties of natural teeth which can have complications resulting in implant failure. Researchers are working on bioengineered teeth, which resemble natural tooth buds, including the stem cell niche, enamel, and formation of mineralized tissue. They are made from postnatal dental cells encased in a protective cell, that are implanted in laboratory rats. These can lead to a clinically relevant therapy for tooth replacement.
