This advance is viewed as a pivotal initial step toward innovative therapies for the repair and regeneration of teeth. Stem cells have been used to produce organoids that release the proteins responsible for forming dental enamel, a substance that shields teeth from harm and decay. This initiative
The process involves creating enamel in the lab for cavity filling or even creating "living fillings" that repair cavities. This advancement could revolutionize regenerative dentistry, potentially leading to stem cell-derived teeth replacements.
