Abstract

THERE have already been several embryological studies of the development of isolated teeth in tissue culture. More recently I have shown that segments of jaws maintain their viability when grown in vitro1. Incisors and molars of normal shape developed, odontoblasts and ameloblasts differentiated, and dentine and enamel formed. The mouth epithelium and the connective tissue continued to develop and both cartilage and bone differentiated.
