Japanese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in stem cell research that could revolutionize the treatment of dental loss. The recent study reveals the identification of two specific stem ...

While bones can regrow themselves when they break, teeth aren’t so lucky, and that leads to millions of people worldwide suffering from some form of edentulism, a.k.a. toothlessness. Now, Japanese ...

Scientists have gotten one step closer to growing replacement teeth in the lab — a development that could pave the way for new alternatives to unpleasant dental fillings and root canals. The team ...

With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Researchers identified a stem cell population that declines during aging, but anti-aging drugs may help restore their ...

Tooth loss affects millions around the world, caused by decay, gum disease, injuries, and some diseases. Missing teeth do more than make it hard to chew or talk. They also impact appearance and ...

Adults could one day grow their own replacement teeth instead of having fillings—as scientists make a key discovery. This research offers a potential way to repair teeth and a natural dental treatment ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that positional ...
