YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH!
Human trials started September 2024.
If all goes well, they hope to bring the drug to market by 2030 and usher in a time when people with oral problems can finally smile again.
The only downside is that the tooth grows out of the end of your nose...
The side effects in some should be...interesting.
I think that you win the thread.
First Chuckle of my day (-:
At 70?.................
Many years ago (1966) I saw a young man with teeth growing out of his ear.
Google AI says: Diprosopus (Craniofacial Duplication)
Maybe this could be the beginning of regeneration of other body parts.
I hate MSN. Here’s the original article if you had taken the time to find it.

“Their ground-breaking discovery is based on a particular mouse gene called USAG-1”
Gene therapy? NO WAY!
Let’s hope it cheaper than implants, although implants, while expensive, do work well.
What if you want a new front tooth and what grows is a molar?
USAG-1... Usagi. “Rabbit” in Japanese.
I am really put off by the long list of side effects rolled out in every pharmceutical ad on TV.
I had a friend who was on some kind of drug for osteoporosis, and began to have problems in her jaw.
Interesting and at the same time kind of scary. I can imagine teeth growing where they are not supposed to grow, and as yet unknown side effects. Seems like all of the newer drugs have some nasty side effects.
Possible side effects include a third eye, fish gills, and if your mouth returns to a full set of teeth, a predilection to talk like Jimmy Carter.
