520 _a"More complicated than they look, teeth are actually tiny organs. If tissue engineers can manufacture living replacement teeth, they would blaze a trail for engineering larger organs while leading dentistry into the age of regenerative medicine." (SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN) The authors note that recent "progress in understanding how teeth first develop has combined with advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering technology to bring us close to the realization of biological replacement teeth" and discuss the advantages this teeth research offers "for testing the concept of organ replacement."
