At the Griffith Institute for Health and Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia, Professor Saso Ivanovski has grown layers of cells, including stem and gingival varieties. The gingival cells are gathered from ligaments that surround teeth, then placed in cultures and grown in sheets. These cellular sheets can be transferred to teeth roots in guided tissue regeneration (GTR), then they fully integrate with periodontal tissue in approximately six months. The technique works with skin grafts, as well.

For more information, see the full report, â€œPeriodontal regenerationâ€ in Australian Dental Journal.
