The pig’s mouth revealed its ordinary sharp, tusk-like canines saddled up beside smaller, slightly more human-looking teeth nubs. In theory, a similar process could play out in humans.

Growing an entire new tooth—or starting the process so that the cells can continue it when implanted—will require ...

Tufts University researchers took material from human and pig teeth and were able to grow a tooth-like structure. They hope their findings could lead to growing living tooth replacements for people.

And while this breakthrough may still be a long way from filling in the gaps in anyone's mouth, researchers say it is filling in the gaps in research.

A recently-published study revealed that scientists grew human-like teeth in a pig's mouth by using a mix of human and pig DNA.

“This shows us that ‘teeth’ can also be sensory even when they’re not in the mouth,” said study co-author Yara Haridy, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago.

A new study published in 'Nature' has determined that human teeth evolved from the same "genetic toolkit" as an extinct species which lived about 465 million years ago.

Researchers say they are one step closer to tooth regeneration in humans thanks to new developments in growing bioengineered teeth in pigs.

The original version of this article stated human teeth were being grown in a lab. The Independent is happy to correct this and state lab-grown teeth are not fully-formed human teeth.

When dentists look inside your mouth, they’re not just looking for cavities. They’re looking for gum disease and oral cancers, as well as assessing the overall health of the millions of bacteria, ...

Scientists have successfully grown teeth in a lab which they say could pave the way for patients to regrow lost teeth in the future. Researchers at King’s College London say the breakthrough ...
