It is noted that scientists have developed a material that mimics the environment necessary for tooth development, which allows cells to send signals and begin tooth formation. At the same time, the study emphasizes that, unlike implants and fillings, a tooth grown from patient cells can integrate into the human jaw and recover, RIA Novosti reports.
The researchers are exploring two possible applications of the technology: growing a whole tooth in a laboratory before implanting it, or placing tooth cells at an early stage directly into the patient's jaw, where they can continue to grow.
Scientists believe that such methods can revolutionize dentistry and provide effective solutions for the restoration and regeneration of teeth.
