Can teeth regrow naturally? New research explores the science behind dental stem cells
Scientists are exploring how the body's own stem cells can rebuild teeth and supporting bone. Research identifies specific stem cells in developing teeth that form dentin and cementum, responding to signals like the Wnt pathway. Further studies reveal how dental follicle cells, guided by the Hedgehog pathway, build alveolar bone, paving the way for future regenerative dental treatments.
