METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SIZE AND SHAPE OF CROWN, CUSP, AND ROOT OF TOOTH, REGENERATED TOOTH, AND REGENERATED TOOTH GERM USING GROWTH FACTORS INCLUDING IGF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tooth regeneration method controlling the shape of the crown, cusp, and root such that the regenerated tooth occludes normally, exhibits hardness equivalent to that of a normal tooth, and functions equivalently to the normal tooth.SOLUTION: A culture method of a cell derived from a tooth or a tooth germ comprises the step of culturing the cell in the presence of growth factors including IGF. In the culture step, the cell derived from a tooth or a tooth germ is arranged in a support carrier, and in the support carrier, 0.5 to 8 μg/ml of IGF is blended.
