While dental implants are the best treatment today to replace missing teeth, that may change in the future. Science is showing that stem cells could replace dental implants. According to medical researchers, stem cells could be used to create a natural replacement tooth.

Key takeaways:

– Stem cells are primitive cells that can become any kind of cell

– Stem cells could be used to repair tooth decay or even replace entire teeth

– Baby teeth or wisdom teeth may be a source of stem cells

Teeth have already been ‘grown’ from stem cell experiments in the lab; future studies will investigate the application of stem cell technology to tooth replacement in humans
