Revolutionizing Dentistry: Bioengineered Tooth Formation Using Decellularized Tooth Bud Matrix

Posted: December 27, 2024
The article discusses the in vivo bioengineering of teeth using decellularized tooth bud extracellular matrix scaffolds. It addresses the limitations of traditional dental implants and explores the creation of functional bioengineered teeth with properties similar to natural teeth. The study successfully implanted bioengineered tooth buds in minipigs, resulting in the formation of tooth-like tissues supporting periodontal ligament. This research offers a promising alternative to synthetic implants, potentially revolutionizing dental treatment.
