<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing teeth which enables control of the number of teeth to be produced and the configuration for producing teeth retaining a specific cell disposition. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing teeth includes an arranging process for arranging a first cell aggregate substantially made of either a mesenchymal cell derived from a tooth germ or an epithelial cell and a second cell aggregate substantially made of the only other cell in a manner to make contact mutually in a support carrier and a culturing process for culturing the first and second cell aggregates inside the support carrier, and the cell aggregate substantially made of the only epithelial cell includes the same number of cell regions constituting enamel knots as the intended number of teeth. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
