    Been hearing this claim for 20 years. Let me know where and when I can sign up for the trails.

      It’s always 5 years away though, this one is 4! We’re making progress.

      Not only does it need to become possible, it needs to become more effective than other treatments like crowns and implants. I think it’s going to be a long time, and even then will only be applicable in limited cases for a long time, and will be really expensive.

        I mean, we can make fusion happen, but it’s not exactly useful outside of turning things into not things anymore.

        Not just cold fusion. We are still working on creating hot fusion reactions that are controlled. That honestly makes sense. It’s kinda weird that we were able to theorize the uncontrolled reaction of fission, and then used that to create a mostly kinda stable controlled fission reactor.

    No they won’t.

    This is the same as “humans may live on a mara colony in 10 years!”

    No they won’t, not even close.

    This article is bullshit and so is the entire site, it’s all djinn economy, all wishes and fantasy with a clickbait header to make sure you go there to watch the ads to make them money.

    If this were to become commercially viable, dentists would move heaven and earth to stop it. Imagine killing 80% of a field with a simple commonplace product.

      People who don’t have any teeth don’t need a dentist, regrown teeth will still get painful cavities or other damage and need fillings or crowns, regrown teeth will probably come in exactly as crooked as your originals and require braces, there’s plenty of room for dentists in a world without permanent tooth loss

      Are you kidding? Most dentists would love that treatment. You get to improve your patients’ dental health, you give them a smile they can be proud of, and you would be the ones administering the treatment.

      This will more likely be an upcharge service for cavity fillings and to replace implants and shit.

      Based on how AI might actually replace a bunch of professions, and nobody fighting tooth and nail about it - I don’t think so.

    I was psyched until I learned it would be a biologic. Those are so bloody expensive and there isn’t enough research ruling out potential interactions between multiple biologics to convince my doc to freely prescribe me a second one.

    Bruh I’m gonna grow so many teeth. I wonder if we’ll be able to get crocodile teeth.

    Like can I get just one crocodile tooth that hangs over my lip?
