World's First Tooth Regrowth Medicine Enters Clinical Trials — 'Every Dentist's Dream' Could Be A Life-Changing Reality
finance.yahoo.com
external-link
A pioneering dental medicine project in Japan is making strides toward clinical trials, with the aim of becoming the world's first tooth-regrowing treatment, according to the country's national news site Mainichi. The upcoming trial will be focused on patients affected by anodontia, a genetic condition characterized by the absence of teeth, or partial anodontia, where people are missing some teeth, as described by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Clinical trials are scheduled

    The title is misleading from what it actually stated in the article.

    It seems that it is mostly aimed at persons who are missing teeth that did not grow at all. By giving this medicine they would have more of the teeth most people have.

    The title would suggest that it would allow growing teeth back that have been lost. This could theoretically be a further extent of this research, but it is not what the article seems to describe.

    Caveat emptor, says the ADA:

    “There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth. Because the research was conducted on animal models, its applicability to humans remains uncertain, as stressed by Dr. Erinne Kennedy from the American Dental Association.”

        Apparently it targets the gene specifically for growing your teeth, so it should only grow your teeth where it was designed to.
