A cell-free mammalian tooth-shaped scaffold comprising a compound that is chemotactic, osteogenic, dentine-forming, enamel-forming, or cementitious. A method is provided for replacing a tooth in the oral cavity of a mammal, wherein the tooth is missing and the alveoli are present at the position of the missing tooth in the oral cavity. The method includes implanting an acellular scaffold having a missing tooth shape into the alveoli. Furthermore, a method for creating a dental scaffold is provided. The method comprises synthesizing a cell-free scaffold in the form of a mammalian tooth and adding at least one compound that is chemotactic, osteogenic, dentinogenic, enamelogenic, or cementitious. including.
