With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process that is driven ...

While teeth play a greater role in health than many realise, current dental solutions for tooth loss are temporary and subpar. What if we could regrow our teeth instead?

Stem cell applications in dental tissue regeneration harness the capacity of various postnatal and embryonic stem cell populations to restore or replace damaged dental structures. Central to this ...

FRIDAY, Aug. 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to ...

In the early 2000s, dental clinician and stem cell researcher Songtao Shi’s six-year-old daughter lost her first tooth. Curious, Shi, then at the University of Pennsylvania, took a closer look at its ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. At the moment, there are only a few options for dental replacements, such as dentures, titanium implants, or leaving the gap completely blank. But what if ...

Tooth development is a dynamic process that involves the stages of the bud, the cap, and the bell, followed by root development and subsequent tooth formation. Processes such as the bud-to-cap ...

This study identified Notch signaling as a central driver of human ameloblast maturation and demonstrates that engineered pathway activation can replace odontoblast-derived signals to generate ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...
