I’ve been hearing about lab grown teeth for decades at this point. Cool to hear progress regardless though
That’s great but how would it connect itself to the nervous system?
Step one is to let it relax so you’re dealing with a calm system instead.

We have different ideas to put the teeth inside the mouth. We could transplant the young tooth cells at the location of the missing tooth and let them grow inside mouth. Alternatively, we could create the whole tooth in the lab before placing it in the patient’s mouth.
I assume option 1 at least would lead to the nerve connections naturally growing as the tooth does. Regardless, this still seems in the super early lab-proof-of-concept stage so I guess the ultimate answer is we don’t know yet.
They’re going to need to shrink it down, that’s way too big.

Humans are missing out.
Yeah, thanks, I’ll prefer the ceramic implant. Which works fine already.
Can they grow them with funky colours?
Well hurry up!
Can they make them smaller than the one in the thumbnail? Otherwise, count me out

RFK never heard of this, so it couldn’t be a real thing
