🤩 Lab‑Grown Teeth Could Replace Implants

Scientists at King's College London have grown human teeth in the lab using a special hydrogel scaffold. This breakthrough in regenerative dentistry could one day let you replace fillings and implants with living, self‑repairing teeth made from your cells.

Lab‑grown teeth have significant benefits over today's metal or ceramic implants. Because they're made from living tissue, they can mend small cracks and wear themselves over time. By using their own cells, doctors could avoid many rejection problems. Instead of drilling and inserting hard fillings, a dentist might transplant the patient's tooth cells into the gel and watch a brand‑new, natural tooth grow.
