Ill believe it when it becomes available to the consumer and somehow won't cost $20 million a tooth.

>The human body is remarkably good at handling repairs. Cut the skin, and the blood will clot over the wound and the healing process begins. Break a bone, and the body will knit it back together as long as you keep it still enough. But teeth? Our adult teeth get damaged all the time, and yet the body has almost no way to repair them at all. Get a bad enough cavity or knock one out, and it’s game over. There’s nothing to be done but replace it.

There have been a number of times stories of regrowing teeth have popped up over the years, and they always just vanish down the memory hole a few months later. I hope this one might stick around, assuming it actually works.

I agree. I am willing to bet that MOST of them actually work but they refuse to allow it to be used by the masses. It's like someone "discovers" it every other year then it is down the memory hole.

It would make an entire industry almost pointless and the major insurance companies can't allow that to happen. It would hurt their profits.
