Japanese scientists are conducting clinical trials for a drug that aims to regrow teeth in humans. The trials began in September 2024 at Kyoto University Hospital and Kitano Hospital in Osaka. The drug targets a protein called USAG-1, which inhibits tooth growth, and aims to stimulate the dormant buds of a third set of teeth hidden beneath human gums. The first phase of the trials involves 30 adult males aged 30 to 64 who are missing at least one molar, and if successful, the drug will be tested on children aged 2 to 7 who are missing at least four teeth.
The researchers hope to have the tooth regrowth medicine available by 2030 for patients with congenital tooth deficiency, and eventually for anyone who has lost a tooth due to cavities, injury, or other reasons.
With the recent labgrown tooth from Kings College i wonder if any of you guys has looked into this solution to potentially reverse the damages of classic orthodontists, also, can any type of tooth be regrown and what if there is no toothgap for it?
Im particularily interested in this information as a victim of full wisdom teeth and premolar removal, could this function as a natural bimaxillary surgery and can a previous bimaxillary surgery mess with the effect of this drug?
For example right where they connect the jaws to the face with metal after moving them there wouldnt be any ability for tooth growth right?
Also if this turns into a new hype where people use it to far exceed human norms and physical limits like boosting height by hyperdosing growth hormone to unnatural levels, could this become another case where instead of 28 teeth people will try and grow sets up to 36 in order to get superhuman like jaws?
