Abstract

A method for producing a tooth having a desired length in one direction includes the steps of: placing a first cell aggregate and a second cell aggregate in the inside of a support while bringing the first and the second cell aggregates into close contact with each other; and culturing the first and the second cell aggregates in the inside of the support, in which the first cell aggregate is composed of one of mesenchymal cells or epithelial cells and the second cell aggregate is composed of the other, and the size of the tooth is controlled by adjusting the length of contact between the first cell aggregate and the second cell aggregate in one direction.
