Daily Mail - Dentists may soon be able to trigger teeth REGROWTH by stimulating stems cells which can also fix cavities

A study last year confirmed that teeth could be stimulated to repair themselves

• Scientists have since repeated this in rats, who have teeth similar to humans
• The team from King's College, London are now looking at human trials
• If successful, it would represent the largest leap forward for dentistry in 50 years.....

................Scientists says, if they succeed, this could represent one of the greatest steps forward in dentistry in the last 50 years.

There is a small risk in the use of stem cells. Stem cells can cause uncontrolled tissue growth: for instance, there have been cases where the administering the cells in one area has lead to small brain tumours, or bone growing in the eyelids.
