I am not sure if the odontoblasts and ameloblasts in humans have not alrady disappeared through apotosis. That could complicate stimulating stem cells into changing into the appropriate tooth forming precursor cells.<br /><br />Also I don't see the point in transplants...just form the tooth in the socket where it is missing. Then you don't have the extra complication of transplant rejection. Or grow the tooth in a dish.Fascist Nationhttp://freedomsphoenix.comnoreply@blogger.com
