The toothlike structures represent a step toward bioengineered replacements for dental implants, say researchers behind the work.

In a new study, a team led by Pamela Yelick, a professor at the Tufts School of Dental Medicine, has successfully grown bioengineered teeth in pigs using a combination of human and pig cells.

In order to get closer to a potential solution, the researchers behind the study turned to pigs, who can grow five or six sets of teeth compared to humans' two sets. The scientists combined human ...
