World's First Tooth Regrowth Medicine Enters Clinical Trials
SpunkyBarnes, Caveat emptor, says the ADA:
“There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth. Because the research was conducted on animal models, its applicability to humans remains uncertain, as stressed by Dr. Erinne Kennedy from the American Dental Association.”
Waiting for the first reports of unicorn spirals and Paleolithic grade protuberances from the clinical trials.
NounsAndWords, Well that only matter if you care about the shape, location, and number of teeth you start to grow out of your eyes body head mouth.
SPOOSER, Apparently it targets the gene specifically for growing your teeth, so it should only grow your teeth where it was designed to.
original_reader, Here a similar article at Euronews without the annoying Yahoo consent pop-up.

I installed it for Reddit’s stupid app install nags and others. But I’m finding it wonderful everywhere.
KapiteinPoffertje, The title is misleading from what it actually stated in the article.
It seems that it is mostly aimed at persons who are missing teeth that did not grow at all. By giving this medicine they would have more of the teeth most people have.
The title would suggest that it would allow growing teeth back that have been lost. This could theoretically be a further extent of this research, but it is not what the article seems to describe.
danc4498, This is still pretty amazing.
MaxVoltage, 
soon people will be able to regrow limbs
ciberConas3000, A new back would be pretty dope.
Nfamwap, I’ll take one new face, please.
Loulou, And rejuvenate cells (specialized yamanaka factors), how cool isn’t that
FaceDeer, 
Indeed. You have to start somewhere with these things.

Big Toothpaste gonna fight this. Tooth and nail.
dublet, But it’s a hole in the market that needs to be filled.

ElBarto, There’s always that one dentist that goes against the grain.
Piecemakers3Dprints, 
Watch out you don’t get ornery, though.
sigh, 
The more teeth you got, the more toothpaste you’re gonna need.
bruh I’m gonna have so many fucking teeth just wait
reallynotnick, I’m going to be a god damn shark, I’ll chew all my food in one bite with my blender of a mouth.
BadWolf, They certainly aren’t enameled with the prospect of losing business.
d4rknusw1ld, That’s just a whitening of their objectives.

What is this, good news??
A rare breed.
wizzor, There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth.
To what extent…?

athos77, C'mon, just a little click? Aren't you curious ... ?

HikuNoir, Finally. A way to finish off that sweet corn.
snooggums, 
One row of kernels at a time.
HikuNoir, But not the Hurd.
maajmaaj, The price. The price is going to be wrong as fuck.
Nioxic, Probabky why the link is finance.yahoo.com and not something else.
Kodemystic, Probably going to be better to buy implants since the price of those will go down probably.
FaceDeer, The price of a drug treatment like this would also go down over time. Everything starts out expensive.
spearz, You might end up with teeth like The Mouth of Sauron? tinyurl.com/mwhwkbk5
DarkDarkHouse, 
Well, sure, but balance that against what could possibly go right.
HikuNoir,
