Now, Japanese researchers are moving a promising, tooth-regrowing medicine into human trials. If the trial is successful, the researchers hope the drug will become available for all forms of ...

A new study identifies 18 genome regions that influence tooth size and shape, of which 17 have not been linked to our chompers before – and shows how genetic variation affects tooth dimensions across ...

For more than a century, dentistry has focused on repairing or replacing damaged teeth, not growing new ones. That assumption is now under direct challenge, as Japanese teams move a first-of-its-kind ...

For decades, dentists and scientists have dreamed of helping people regrow lost teeth. Now, thanks to remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine, that dream is ...

New research reveals how genes inherited from Neanderthals and critical developmental markers like PITX2 influence tooth size, shedding light on human evolution and genetic diversity. Study: PITX2 ...

Losing a tooth can be a frustrating and costly experience. Current solutions like dentures and implants can be expensive, uncomfortable, and require ongoing maintenance. But what if we could regrow ...

A team of scientists in London may have found a way to repair tooth enamel using an ingredient found in an unexpected place: human hair. Researchers at King’s College London experimented with keratin, ...
