Feed real teeth from cells

In the near future, experts hope that teeth that have been damaged or forced to be removed can be replaced by new teeth, which are raised from cells extracted from patients' teeth.

The prospect of real teeth replaces tooth decay is becoming the target of scientists' reach.

The promising scenario was opened after scientists at the University of London's Emperor (UK) created 'hybrids', from a mixture of human beneficial cells and rat embryonic cells, in an attempt Force testing a new method to replace dental implants for humans.

Hybrid bred teeth are created inside the kidneys of laboratory rats, suggesting they are capable of normal growth, according to the Journal of Dental Research report.

They are very similar to normal teeth, surrounded by teeth and ligaments, according to Professor Paul Sharpe of the university.

Researchers believe that raising teeth from patients' own cells can play a revolutionary role in the dental industry, replacing the current method of dental implant.
