Abstract
Previous investigations indicated that in vitro culture of fetal tooth germs before allotransplantation prolonged graft survival. This study assessed the influence of different sources of serum in culture medium on post-transplant development of neonatal tooth organs. The results indicate that recipient-strain serum, but not donor-strain serum or calf serum, increased tooth survival compared with that of uncultured controls, which were rejected by the fourteenth post-transplant day. The survival curve for cultured tooth organs was shifted to the right by two days. No tooth transplant survived beyond three wk.
