Impact Statement:
The methods developed in this study to manipulate pig tooth germ cells in vitro and in vivo provide a reference for studying whole-tooth regeneration and tooth development in large animals. Of importance, compared with conventional ectopic tooth regeneration, conducted in the omentum, subcutaneous tissues, or kidney capsule (among other locations) with low with immune reactivity in rodent models, this study achieved orthotopic regeneration and development of whole teeth in a large mammal, representing a large stride toward the realization of tooth regenerative therapy for humans with missing teeth.

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
