Is this only for missing teeths, or can they also use this for grown ups cavity stuff? Last time i got a cavity drilled out and filled was some like a decade ago it was annoying as fuck.
The way it's explained suggests these “tooth buds” they use disappear in adulthood however, so I'm not sure how that works.
> When treatment of teeth is no longer possible due to severe cavities or erosion of the dental sockets, known as pyorrhea, people lose them and need to rely on dental appliances such as dentures. The ability to grow third-generation teeth could change that. "In any case, we're hoping to see a time when tooth-regrowth medicine is a third choice alongside dentures and implants," Takahashi said.
