    One question. How much? Unless its very very affordable i.e. cheaper than implants then it’s just another dental resource I can’t afford. In the US insurance companies will label this as cosmetic and thus only for the wealthy

    Awesome science though, just hope some of the less fortunate can actually afford it

      I think some of this old article got lost in translation. I had seen a similar older article that had this only causing kids with a genetic defect that prevented their 2nd set of teeth from growing out (this posted article said the trial is being done on 2 to 7 year olds), so I’m doubtful it will do anything for adults that lost adult teeth. I think the article I had previously read said as much.
