Scientists successfully grow teeth from stem cells intact. Artificial tooth is similar to the original tooth. Interestingly, these teeth are also sensitive to pain and able to chew food.
The breakthrough was tested in mice. Scientists say, these solutions will be applied to human tooth. Scientists harness the power of stem cells to grow new teeth.
This is done by mixing the two stem cells and grow them in the lab in a mixture of chemicals and vitamins to begin the transformation. After five days, 'tooth buds' appear and placed in plastic boxes that exist in the body of mice.
When fully grown tooth, teeth are removed and implanted into the jaw. In six weeks, as reported by the journal PLoS ONE, was united with the jaw teeth. These artificial teeth have all the components of the original teeth, including enamel, crowns and roots, and connective fibers to repair the bone.
"These artificial teeth to function perfectly. No problem to bite and eat the food after planting, "said Masamitsu Oshima assistant professor at the Research Institute for Science and Technology of Tokyo University of Science.
Similarly, as reported Dailymail. [mor]
