Growing dental implant in patient s mouth
Dr. Jeremy Mao, a professor of dental medicine at Columbia University Medical Centre, has developed a technique which makes it possible to ‘grow’ an implant in situ, i.e., actually within the empty tooth socket.
The first step of the process is to craft a tooth-shaped framework made from natural materials which have been micro-channelled and infused with a special growth factor. Working on experiments with animals, he planted this framework into the mouth and found that it attracted stem cells.

After his experiments, Dr. Mao came to the conclusion that it would only take nine weeks to grow a complete tooth. NEWSLINK
