Bioteeth From Stem-Cells Will Regrow Complete Teeth, Superior to Implants

Replacing missing teeth with new bio engineered teeth, grown from stem cells generated from a person's own gum cells, is a future method that could be superior to the currently used implant technology but for now not all required pieces are in place. 

New research, published in the Journal of Dental Research and led by Professor Paul Sharpe, an expert in craniofacial development and stem cell biology at King's College London's Dental Institute, describes an important preliminary step towards the development of this method by sourcing the required cells from a patient's own gum.
