Have there been any successes yet with regrowing human teeth using non-embryonic stem cells? I know there were some remarkable results on rats but haven't heard of any advances with humans.

stem cells for human teeth

To date, there have been no studies that have regrown a tooth using human post-natal stem cells.  Parts of a human tooth (dentin, pulp, periodontal ligament and cementum), but only parts.  And one two big parts are missing:  how to regenerate enamel, and how to regenerate a root.

Hope this helps!
