According to experts, in 10 years installation of tooth from a test tube instead of extracted can become the commonplace.


The group of experts from Russia has for the first time managed to grow up the real tooth in a test tube. It has been made with use of the bioreactor.



The scientific principle which is been the basis for the used technology claims that from one cage it is possible to create not only separate bodies, but also the whole full-fledged organism.


In laboratory of cellular biotechnology experimental teeth are already grown up by means of pregnant laboratory mice. The cage placed in an organism of a healthy mouse grows and is formed, without disturbing an animal.


In only two weeks full-fledged tooth appears. So far it is difficult to foresee that the cutter or a canine will grow, but it is clear that the solution of this question only a matter of time. The head of the department of a pathophysiology of the Moscow state medico-dental university Igor Malyshev speaks about need of creation of specialized banks for storage of the pulled-out teeth already now.


If at the person in youth thus to take and keep teeth, then at advanced age it is possible to try to restore the damaged fabric by means of the kept biological samples.


Already now researchers work on experimental restoration of teeth by means of the latest special three-dimensional printers. Until recently it seemed a fantasy, and now has become a reality. As it was already told, cultivation of tooth requires 14 days. After that he is sent to a jaw of other experimental mouse. The survival percent at the same time comes nearer to 100.


As scientists speak, experiments with human biomaterial will begin already in the near future. According to forecasts of experts, in 10 years cultivation of tooth from a test tube instead of extracted can become the most ordinary operation in dental policlinic.
