Molar tooth organs were transplanted from fetal and neonatal mouse donors as well as from cap-stage molar tooth organs following ten days of in vitro culture. Tooth organs from neonatal donors appeared to develop better than those from fetal donors in syngeneic recipients. Cultured allogeneic molar tooth organs appeared to survive longer than uncultured controls.
