Led by Professor Paul Sharpe, the re- search team isolated adult human gin- gival tissue from dental patients at the institute, grew more of the tissue in the lab, and then combined the tissue with mesenchyme (tooth-forming) cells from mice. The combination of cells were transplanted into mice renal tissue, where they grew into hybrid human/ mouse teeth that contained dentine and enamel — and formed viable roots. The root formation is seen as a key breakthrough, because bioengineered teeth with natural root structure could eliminate one of the challenges some- times seen with tooth-implant technol- ogy to date: a risk of bone loss in the area of the jaw that anchors an artificial im- plant. Such bone loss has been attributed to friction that occurs when eating or be- cause of other jaw movement. ‘Bioteeth’ a step closer to becoming clinical reality Scientists ‘build’ teeth that have dentine, enamel, viable roots ” See BIOTEETH, page A2 ” See page D1 Seattle is the site of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Scientific Session, April 24–27.
