Researchers at King’s College London and Imperial College London have bioengineered early-stage human teeth in a lab using a hydrogel scaffold.

This gel mimics the environment of early tooth development and allows human dental pulp stem cells to grow into structured tissues resembling real teeth.

The hydrogel enables cell signaling and tissue organization critical for forming enamel and dentin-like structures.

This discovery may pave the way for regenerative dentistry, replacing synthetic fillings, crowns, or implants with naturally grown teeth.
