The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.
Which isn’t too unexpected. Having it as an IV treatment would mean it’s not targeted. I don’t understand how something like that could replace individual teeth that were damaged, and not just didn’t grow because of a lack of something in the body.
If I had to guess (not being a toothologist), I’d think there would have to be some sort of injection, or implant, to trigger an individual tooth replacement.
