Scientists grow human teeth in lab for the first time

Scientists at King's College London have grown human teeth in a lab, offering a potential alternative to traditional dental treatments. This breakthrough uses cells and biomaterials to create tooth structures that mimic natural teeth, designed to regenerate and integrate into the jaw. The lab-grown teeth could provide a more durable and compatible solution than fillings or implants. The next challenge is developing methods for implanting these teeth into patients' mouths, potentially revolutionizing dental care for millions affected by tooth loss.
