Researchers from Tufts University have reported successfully growing human-like teeth in pigs.

Process involves harvesting cells from both human and pig teeth, combining them in a lab and 'expanding' them to form tooth tissue.

They were then implanted into the mouths of pigs, where they continued to grow.

Professor Pamela Yelick said while the teeth are 'not perfect' in shape or size, the end product closely resembles a natural tooth.
