What's the current state of the art in terms of being able to regrow teeth/regenerate alveolar bone?
- heymijo 2y agoOne thing is using rapamycin for bone and soft tissue regrowth. The FDA recently approved a human study after previous research showed success in mice. https://dental.washington.edu/uw-periodontal-study-receives-fda-approval-for-anti-aging-drug-use/ https://dental.washington.edu/uw-periodontal-study-receives-...

It's laboratory antibody serum from a specific human-sourced monoclonal cell line. Seems to work on all mammals (notably both nice and ferrets; I'm told their teeth system is widely different evolutionary and that humans are kinda in the middle). A human study should be ongoing on some children in Japan that for genetic reasons are missing a few adult teeth (never grew).
