Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and compositions for tooth regeneration. Both implants of adipose-derived stem cell and dental pulp stem cell are able to grow self-assembled new teeth in extraction sockets when adding BMP2. The regenerated tooth is not only structurally similar to a normal tooth, but also well-developed in vascular and nervous systems with functions of growth, communication, and sensation. They are natural living teeth derived from this invented implantation method without any engineering procedure. It is ready for clinical testing and may be applied to future dental clinics.
