But where will it grow?
Asking the real questions.
The origin story to Teeth
Wish I could trial this. My front one is missing at the moment, I have to speak super softly so it doesn’t show.
I only have one implant but god, it’s super fucking annoying. And basically all my molars are filled. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss frequently, and mouth wash before bed but got unlucky genetics
same here. everyone in my family before me was missing teeth by like 30. I have floss and I brush multiple times per day, only drink sugar free things like water and tea.
Anyone who values you less because of your appearance is not worth your consideration.
This does discount physical and medical consequences, which are absolutely worth noting, but whether others notice your missing tooth should not be an issue.
It makes sense and is understandable that you would feel sensitive about it, including wanting the tooth back, but its absence does not reflect upon you as a person and ideally you don’t feel bad about it.
This isn’t meant to dismiss trauma, but help with any insecurity. Personally, I’d rather hear what you have to say rather than whether you can chew adequately.
Hopefully you get your tooth back if its absence is causing you stress.
edit: I don’t mean to invalidate any of your feelings on the subject. I don’t have any visibly missing teeth, but my mother very prominently did. If anything I said above isn’t accurate, I certainly yield to you, but I hope that something above helps.
That’s actually pretty cool. I was born with one of my adult molars missing and always wished this was possible. Hope the results turn out positively.
With my luck, I would only get my surgically removed wisdom teeth back.
“Given”
Is there any advantage of this over implants? Maybe I don’t understand the full scope but this seems really roundabout when I have a ceramic implant and it works fine. Maybe a regenerated tooth lasts longer?
Implants slowly erode the jaw bone underneath over time, whereas a new tooth would keep the jaw bone healthy.
Oh ok, that does sound promising if the regeneration works as intended. Thank you for the insightful answer Mr. WashedAnus.
Natural teeth roots promote bone regeneration around them, while implants don’t. Therefore bone loss with age is worse around implants
Don’t know from personal experience, but I’ve heard that since real teeth have nerves in them, you can feel more with them than with implants/dentures. Maybe it’s not as noticable if it’s only one or two teeth. But for folks who have lost all of them maybe this is a better alternative to dentures?
Isn’t the skin inside your butthole the same type skin that’s in your mouth?
Can’t wait for the first lawsuit for someone growing a tooth out of their dick
The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.
Is only testing on men still a thing in science? Since stuff can have different effects between genders, this could be bad for women.
It’s not precluding a subsequent trial that includes women.
Having said that, it is a little odd that it’s a men only trial.
Yeah of course. But as you’re saying, it’s just a little odd. History shows that focusing on one gender does eventually have bad consequences for the other gender.
ADepending on the science being done, genders are preferred. In many cases it’s men due to less complex chemistry and internal anatomy. Men are more basic to start off with less risk of imbalance or damage if things go unexpectedly. Considering the nature of what’s being done, this isn’t at all odd for this trial. Sciences doesn’t recognise gender bias unless it’s studying gender bias.
I can understand it from a very basic level of ‘simple first’ but if you’re doing human trial s you should be on a complex level already
Let’s go! Bar fights won’t be as devastating!
