NEW YORK, USA/LEIPZIG, Germany: Dental implants could soon become a secondary choice for replacing natural teeth. According to new research from the College of Dental Medicine at Columbia University in New York, three-dimensional scaffolds infused with stem cells could yield an anatomically correct tooth in as soon as nine weeks once implanted. The new technique, developed by Columbia University professor Jeremy Mao, has also shown potential to regenerate periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone, which could make way to re-grow natural teeth that fully integrate into the surrounding tissue.
Previous research on tooth regeneration has been focusing on harvesting stem cells directly on dental implants to improve osseointegration or outside the body where the tooth is grown under laboratory conditions and implanted once it has matured. Mao’s technique, which has been tested on animal-models, is moving the harvesting process directly into the socket where the tooth can be grown ‘orthotopically’.
“A key consideration in tooth regeneration is finding a cost-effective approach that can translate into therapies for patients who cannot afford or who aren’t good candidates for dental implants,” Dr Mao told Dental Tribune Asia Pacific. “Our findings represent the first report of regeneration of anatomically shaped tooth-like structures in vivo.”
Dr Mao’s study has been published in the recent Journal of Dental Research and will be presented at this year’s International Association of Dental Research congress in Barcelona. Columbia has also announced to have filed patient applications in relation to the engineered tooth and is actively seeking partners to help commercialise the technology through its technology transfer office Columbia Technology Ventures.

This could potentially save lives, including mine. This is hope to us, that suffer with teeth loss and or pain issues by oral health. Teeth are critical for nourishment. Teeth effect total body including mental health. This is amazing news to me. I pray I will live, here on earth, to see this as an opportunity for myself.
I would appreciate being in any trial for this or being a patient to receive stem cell regeneration of teeth.
how would this process work on a patient with a loss of bone mass?? i have bone mass loss to the point that i am unable to get traditional implants. is there any hope for me to take part in this dream?? thanks
I would like to be part of the clinical trials
When & where can I get it done ✅
Where do I sign up …my location ( Spain )
Does this also work for only tooth enamel?
Hello,
Is there an update on the commercialization of this procedure – the regrowth of teeth through stem cells at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine? Have family that are interested and would benefit from it. Please do respond.
I live in Australia and I would like to register as a volunteer for any human trials in Australia (Melbourne)
I’m very interested in this as I’m not a good candidate for regular dentistry.
