5 years awayJapan is currently holding clinical trials. I think that’s the closest we’ve come to actually seeing this happen.
Aww, but I want pointy fangs.
Maybe by the time the infinite five years have passed, one of us can afford it

Teeth full body armour, fang penis, fine anal teeth for things and reasons.
i want teeth
NSFL warning
Search for “Teratoma” if you want to see what happens when this goes wrong.This is something different. This treatment is not for replacing teeth that were somehow lost, but for people where one or more teeth didn’t develop in the first place.
It says in the article it will treat “all forms of toothlessness”
While these treatments are currently focused on patients with congenital tooth deficiency, Takahashi hopes the treatment will be available for anyone who’s lost a tooth.
In other earlier reports it is also mentioned that the successes in animal trials also were with congegeniaal tooth deficiency. So the hopes of this researcher are not backed by results. And though I’m no expert on any field related to this, I can’t see how this would work for people who lost teeth.
Quick edit; an earlier source
I’ve read the studies related to USAG-1, the molecule in question. Most of them mention that the treatment would also be applicable to normal mice (and hopefully humans). I’m guessing the widespread mentions of congenital tooth deficiency is due to funding or other criteria they want to meet.
Can I use this technology to replace my pinky toe with a tooth? That would be useful for when I stub my toe
I got you fam!
Tap for NSFL
What a way to learn my client doesn’t support spoiler tags
When a joke becomes a nightmare 😳
For those who don’t want to look: teeth growing where they shouldn’t
No thank you very much, I absolutely don’t and I absolutely won’t!
Sounds like a lot of pain. Not sure if its worth it.
As someone who has experienced decades of poverty and chronic depression who is now finally in a more stable place, I’d be willing to trade certain other body parts if it meant I could have a do over on my teeth. As long as the pain isn’t life long, I’d get over it.
I’m self conscious about the way my mouth moves when I talk, how I smile or laugh (whether or not it’s worth the risk) and even how I chew. I’d be willing to be a test subject, because God knows what they’d charge if it works.
i’ve been trying for a whole lot longer than 6 years
Super excited to see the results of this trial. It seems so unfair that sharks get unlimited teeth, while us humans are limited to a mere two sets.
Mouth bone. I got a boner in my mouth
If this could eventually replace lost teeth, I’d love it. I’ve been planning to get an implant, and I know the failure rate is low, but the potential side effects of having a screw right below my sinuses is upsetting.
I know fixing the gap in my mouth is a vanity thing purely to conform to western beauty standards but I look like Patrick Star when I open my mouth
