Teeth might someday repair themselves using their own stem cells -- eliminating the need for conventional fillings, researchers report. Although still in the laboratory stage, a new method tested in ...

Teeth have a natural repair mechanism, but it cannot cope if teeth are overly compromised, for example, by large cavities or trauma. But this mechanism, which relies on the generation of dentine by ...

A team of researchers including those from Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC), have found that stem cells could be used for several forms of tissue engineering including tooth repair.

A new method of stimulating the renewal of living stem cells in tooth pulp using an Alzheimer's drug has been discovered by a team of researchers at King's College London. Following trauma or an ...

Nobody likes a toothache. At the slightest sign of a damaged tooth, many of us run to our dentists so they can fill the cavities caused by trauma or infection — or perhaps just a persistent sweet ...
