The average Briton over 50 has lost 12 teeth from a set of 32. Holy cow! That's a lot of missing teeth...

Of course some deviant with money is going to have all his teeth replaced with canines.
To: ijcr
Wow, that is really cool. I'd love to have a few of those for myself. What comes to mind is a certain problem that some might not think of though. Teething at 50 isn't going to be a painless process.
To: ijcr
I wonder how expensive it is? Can the government pay for it?(/lib spin)

So it's only been done with mice, I take it. When will it be available? We toothless ones don't have that much time to wait. Reminds me of a "you might be redneck" joke. You might be redneck if you lie through your tooth.

Doctors take stem cells from the patient. "Adult stem cells work, embryonic stem cells don't!" BUMP.

One question: where do they get the stem cells . . . ?

One question: where do they get the stem cells . . . ?From article: The procedure is fairly simple. Doctors take stem cells from the patient. ...
I would suggest that using stem cells from an alternative source would yield 'organ rejection' issues.

. . .just feel the slight shiver from an entire industry of dental specialists. . .; though don't think they will have to worry. . .if they are close to retirement, that is. :^)
I believe 'fat' will be as scarce as false teeth in the 'not-too-distant' future.
You want to see a 'fat' person? You will have to look in family photo albums and search on 'yahoo'. . .

OK, if you saw the first Austin Powers you can't be surprised by this!

My dentist was just telling me about this. It'll be available in 5 years at the most he claims. The key is healthy gums and bone.
A wacky dentist, he is into the cutting edge of high tech dentistry and....Star Trek.
a little Goofy, but a good dentist.

They just kill you for the cells, of course you no longer need the teeth.
