In the near future, you might be able to grow new teeth on your own!

 


The Mainichi reports that Japanese researchers are preparing to begin the first clinical trials of "tooth regrowth medicine" at Kyoto University Hospital.

For these trials, volunteers with congenital anodontia—a disease in which a person is born without some or all of their teeth—are being recruited by researchers from the Japanese startup Toregem Biopharma.

The strategy is as follows: these subjects will receive an antibody treatment to prevent USAG-1, a protein, from preventing the growth of tooth buds into full teeth.

People with this issue typically have to choose between dentures or implants. Toregem's therapy, however, presents a fresh choice, as co-founder Katsu Takahashi clarified in a statement that Nikkei Asia cited.

The trials aim to assist patients who are losing teeth owing to cavities in addition to those who are born without teeth. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to develop your own new teeth in a few years!

It all depends where you buy of course. The outer suburbs of the main metro cities are still prohibitively expensive, but if you can afford something that allows for a renovation budget, then perhaps a fireplace swap-out could be on the cards?
