Dental experts have found a pioneering method of splitting a tooth into two fully functional teeth.
In groundbreaking tests, they were able to successfully implant "germs" which grew into new teeth
with full functionality in the jaws of mice.
They hope the same method could eventually be carried out on human patients.
The study, published in Scientific Reports of the journal Nature, showed that many current treatments o
f replacement fail to restore the full functionality of a tooth.
But the prospect of naturally growing new teeth in the patient's mouth would solve this problem.
Germs of permanent teeth or wisdom teeth could be used to develop new fully functional teeth
that could then be implanted. Dr Tsuji added that they could soon consider using stem cells
to grow more germs, though further tests were still needed for the process.

... 'The simplicity of our approach makes it ideal as a clinical dental product for the natural treatment of large cavities'
Professor Paul Sharpe, lead author of a paper in the journal Scientific Reports, said:
"The simplicity of our approach makes it ideal as a clinical dental product for the natural treatment
of large cavities, by providing both pulp protection and restoring dentine.
"In addition, using a drug that has already been tested in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease
provides a real opportunity to get this dental treatment quickly into clinics. ...
