Whole-Tooth Regeneration: It Takes a Village of Scientists, Clinicians, and Patients.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2546443/#!po=21.8750. Tl:dr It's an older article (2006) but the village mention in the title got my attention. Excerpt: "They proposed a laboratory-grown tooth rudiment that would be capable of executing the complete program for odontogenesis when transplanted to a suitable host, recreating all of the dental tissues, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone associated with the canonical tooth. This plan was designed to bring regenerative medicine fully into the dental surgery suite, although a lack of funding has so far prevented the plan from being carried out.

Keywords: regenerative medicine, stem cells, multidisciplinary research, tooth regeneration, translational research"

Thanks for the information. I feel like I'm out of my depth when it comes to most medical research.
