British Dentists could "Regrow Teeth"

[quote]Dentists may one day be able to replace missing teeth with ones newly grown from gum cells, say UK researchers. The team from King's College London took cells from adult human gum tissue and combined them with another type of cell from mice to grow a tooth. They say using a readily available source of cells pushes the technology a step nearer to being available to patients. But it is still likely to be many years before dentists can use the method. Other work has focused on using embryonic stem cells to create "bioteeth".[/quote] This is pretty dam cool, no more false teeth for anybody or crowns or bridges. Would you like this to be available?

  • I can't believe that brits have bad teeth stereotype is still going lol. Anyway, that's pretty cool. Hope it could be done to patients where the dentist -blam!-s up and messes up a tooth.. like mine did. RIP that one molar.. granted it was an extra tooth but it caused no problems until they cracked it.
