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.

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.

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. Tue, 27 May 2025 00:15:46 GMT (1748304946579) Story Infinite Scroll ...

From there, they transplanted the teeth into a mini pig’s mouth. Within a few months, the tissue developed into a fully formed bioengineered tooth, resembling a natural tooth in structure.

While many species can regenerate their teeth, human beings only get one chance at growing a healthy set of adult pearly whites. That is, until now. Scientists from King's College London have ...

“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. The breakthrough ...

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 ...
