I read "tooth-removing drug" and was kinda surprised by the enthusiasm in this thread.

It seems like only missing teeth will regrow (at least in the tested animals), however, that should include both wisdom teeth or otherwise intentionally missing ones.

Huckledebuck OP ,

Oof, I want thinking about wisdom teeth growing back.

Carrolade ,

I guess it just depends if you have all your teeth or not.

Huckledebuck OP ,

I have one that's gonna fall out soon.

This probably isn't going to be available to you then, though it is possible it paves the way for a tooth-replacement treatment. This article seems like bad science communication. The video, tweet, and website they link to all state that they're researching congenital conditions, the inquiry form linked to on the website explicitly states in English they're not considering people who lost their teeth later in life and specifically calls out articles like this one as misinformation.

We are currently receiving a large number of inquiries that differ from the purpose of this research, which is very troubling.
This research is a study of therapeutic drugs for people who are missing teeth due to congenital (from birth) diseases (diseases, etc.).
This research is not aimed at restoring teeth to people who have lost their teeth due to acquired causes, as some news and social networking sites have reported.Additionally, we are not currently recruiting candidates for clinical trials (adult males).

Huckledebuck OP ,

Thanks for going deeper. Any chance you could answer why? Why is it's use limited?

Huckledebuck OP ,
