US EditionLab-grown teeth might become an alternative to fillings
- King's College London researchers are developing lab-grown replacement teeth and fillings made from human cells.
- Current fillings have limitations, such as weakening tooth structure over time and a limited lifespan.
- The team is recreating early tooth formation using bioengineered materials that mimic natural development.
- Xuechen Zhang stated lab-grown teeth would naturally regenerate and integrate into the jaw.
- This research could lead to custom-grown teeth that minimize rejection risks and offer a biological alternative.

Researchers are closing in on a breakthrough that could one day change one of dentistry’s most common practices: fillings. Building off work published late last year in ACS Macro Letters, a team at King’s College London is developing methods for lab-grown replacement teeth and fillings made from human cells. Humanity has endured the pain of cavities for as long as we’ve had teeth, but the basic remedy has remained fundamentally the same for mill…
