The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.

    I have been looking forward to this for 2 decades.

    Every dentist I’ve ever been to has told me that they didn’t know when research would be progressing on actual regrowth.

    Finally, we’re in the maybe soon stage.

    Hope the trials go well.

          I’m right there with you. After several root canals and a couple of extractions, all of that before 40… I could use some new chompers.

          Right now, it’s only a matter of time until I need man-made mouth bones, this would be vastly preferable.

            My whole family is rife with robot chompers, I am ready to cultivate some dentin.

            May the winds of fortune be with us and behind the sails of dental innovation.
